The first one puts virtually everyone off. If you can readily see evidence of rust, you can be sure there is a LOT more unseen.
The second and third means that more $$$ would have to be put into it than it would be worth, by a large margin. It used to be relatively straightforward to get parts for the lower-end Brit sports cars from companies like Moss Motors and The Roadster Factory, but that was some time ago.
The fourth means the market would be extremely limited. The early model year MG midgets (and MGB's) have some value, but not the emission-choked (and thus VERY under powered) raised suspension (which destroyed the handling) rubber bumper (which destroyed the looks compared to the original chrome grille & bumpers) cars.
My considered opinion is to offer it as a parts car. Or just junk it.
