    sort out rust where you can, wax oil and keep her safe for a few more years...


    maybe one quick spin around the block but it wont be Truely rare for a few more years to come... Then you can ask silly money and get it

    I wouldn't buy one of these because I'd like to avoid that kind of dilemma, in my opinion they are not cars for the average enthusiast

    Its hard work to keep an undriven car in good order.

    Buying something like is opening up a can of worms. Perished hoses and other rubber parts, knackered oil seals, probably corrosion and dirt in the petrol tank, engine possibly seized through standing idle, brakes cylinders seized, corroded electrical connectors....

    The body might well be basically sound but it would take a lot of cash to get in a good condition for driving. Then it becomes no longer an original car with 30 miles on the clock.

    That should be given a T cut and polish and left in a museum. I certainly wouldn't want that. A lot of hassle to sort out and when you have done so, you have ruined what made an otherwise run of the mill car special.

    Would it not be a nightmare to register as a new car though?
