I feel like a blown headgasket is the go to diagnostic of these cars. I was told very much the same many years ago and it was a split water pipe and a dodgy MAF sensor. Took about 10 minutes for someone with knowledge to diagnose.
The best specialist in the country isn’t far from the places you’re taking. I also would assume that you must of paid more than tuppence for the car as they aren’t cheap these days. It’s got to be worth getting an expert to give it the once over. If it is dead, I recon he will even have a good contact for getting rid of that’s the case.

Hi guys.. Long time since I was on the computer lol..
Just renewed my insurance for my 89"swb imported 300 slicktop.... Missed the renewal through an expired credit card thank goodness.
Last years insurance company who we see advertising a specialist product for our cars quoted me £530....
Ten minutes of my time got the same product with agreed valuation for £150....!!!!!
Got me right in a flux it did.....!! Pays to shop around I would think...
Happy Xmas to all......
