Of course you get some issues with 33 year old cars. I let my 31 year old mx5 go but slightly regret it - it needed ~£3000 spent to renovate but then they keep their value as classics. Getting replacement parts can start getting tricky.

Hah, did it fall apart from rust?

Well, not exactly fall apart but there were rust holes you could see through. It would have needed at least some welding to get through the mot and ideally a fair bit of bodywork stripped back and replaced.
