No information on the car I'm afraid, just my opinion on it.
The arches will tak a lot of work, only front left looks unscathed in the (mediocre) pictures. If you know someone in the Netherlands familiar with such work, it is doable. Not really a DIY job.
Boot looks OK, no real rust there. Wires might be the same on all cars, but normally hidden behind the carpet...
Underbody looks like superficial rust, a lot of work and cost to bring up to standard, but not really necessary on a daily driver.
Interior is tidy, but I think I spot a few torn seams and marks on the leather.

All in all, it depends what you're after: a daily in tidy condition, or a car to bring up to concours condition. For the latter, I'm with the others: get a better example to start with. For the first, it's a nice proposition.

Oh, and if you DO know a good aluminium bodyworker, I'd like the address. Our Flaminia touring needs some work too...
