Stick it on Ebay with a reserve & be honest in the description.
Most likely a small trader or mechanic will buy it as a cheap run around

Be a perfect little run around for a small garage once repaired.

100 quid start no reserve, no buy it now.
reserves put people off.
no point in a buy it now, if someone wants it bad enough they will message you an offer, plus people might get in a bidding war and go above 400.
and if you start it low it attracts alot more attention, and an item with 22 bids going into the last hour is going to look like much more of a good deal to one going in with no bids.

If it doesn't need skimming the head gasket could be done by you and then you would have a car which you know any problems with and will know this has been done. Better the devil you know sometimes.

It's a TU lump, not skimming the head while it's off is just asking for the gasket to blow again in a very short space of time

Sounds like you might get a few quid from a breakers yard or could end up paying to have it taken away if you don't fix the gasket.

Just for reference the shell is worth about £50 in scrap metal and that works out as a free collection at most scrap yards.
