It's "REPORTING" 1 link... impossible to tell how many it actually has because its been down for probably years...
He might have found a massive goldmine.
Personally I don't think age alone is "uber" important - but if something noteworthy has existed on the domain in the past, you can only benefit from it's history (unless it was a porn site, or riddled with viruses... etc)
Also a "fatuous" argument - if you sell 240 VAC, you are extremely unlikely to be competing with US sites... so yes, you might rank in the US, but only through lack of competition and relevant local sites.
If, however, you sold 110 VAC equipment in the UK, you surely would NOT rank as well in...
UK Population: 62 million
World Population: 6,775 million
So if your .co.uk ranks just as well everywhere else in the world, you should be selling a helluva lot more outside the UK....
Geo targetting is like a little switch - its either on, or off...
There are many ways to turn the switch on, such as webmaster tools, server location, etc... Once the switch is on, you can't turn it "more on".

I don't disagree that a .co.uk CAN rank internationally, and DOES...
