Ive no idea what either is worth but surely if all it needs for an mot is 2 tyres he'd do that & sell for more 
Whats the insurance in the GTT, have you checked you can get insured on that car with the mods?

Id agree mk1 punto's are shit, but thats only from driving a base model my sister owned & all the problems hers had, id imagine a GTT to be quick & shit.
That said theres been plenty people on here had them & said good things about them.
I just think buying one with no mot is a bit delving into the unknown.

Has he had it in for an MOT, did it fail? Can he show you the test slip saying *needs 2 tyres* ???
If not walk away, at a minimum offer to pay the £40 to have it tested & if it comes up ok do the deal & you'll get 10 days to get some new rubber fitter & a free retest.

If your doing it because it is quicker then your making a big mistake mate.
