Agree with Mike on both points.
Take a torch, toilet roll, and tea bags.

Yes, it is a real shame.
But, money talks and we became broke when the bike got stolen, so no choice but to sell it.

Well, i did the front wheels too. On taking them off, i noticed both track rod ends had split boots. A bit of a pain, but i replaced them this morning, and put the wheels on, so now it is in for it's MOT. This is the side with the sill repair, it looks alright.
See what that throws up.

This is it in the summer. After a polish so it looked shiny, but the rust was pretty extensive and the wheels were gnarly.
