If you really are interested, do let me know, as I said it is only down the road from me and I'd be happy to give it a proper look over for you.

Many thanks to everyone for your advice. Graeme, Yes I am really interested and if you are prepared to have a look at it for me that would be brilliant. I live in the North East some 170 miles away so it has been difficult for me to view it. The garage has been helpful with additional photos etc. I will speak to them tomorrow and ask if they are prepared to hold it for me perhaps with a deposit and subject to a positive view from yourself. I think they will as they have been very helpful. One question mark is they dont have much history on the car other than it had covered 7000 miles in 1989 from a service record. Surprisngly it has also had 3 owners. I was expecting 1 owner with this mileage. I just hope the mileage is genuine? I guess it should have its original tyres which match the spare (assuming the spare hasn't been used or replaced). Please let me know if you can give it a look over and again many thanks for your advice and help. Ian.
