I could be wrong, While it did have the IMS replaced, from what I have read, IIRC if there were metal bits in the oil, it needs to be completely rebuilt as the little bits went everywhere.
sounds like there where lots of bits of stuff in the oil and therefore all inside the engine

It could be a ticking time bomb

I believe Mr Raby will not do an IMS replacement in an engine that shows metal bits in the oil unless the engine is completely broken down and cleaned

other than that it looks like a nice car
