I'll keep you guys posted if I get the estate.

Buying a 35 year old motor car sight unseen would be a brave thing to do indeed! It might turn out to be a peach that just needs a wipe down with a damp rag - or it may need £5,000 worth of welding, £3,000 of redecoration plus a new motor... I'm sure you understand all that.
If you are feeling brave then getting a D (1987?) registered motor car now with a plan to do it up over the next 6 years for when it becomes an historic vehicle (probably on 1 April 2028) would be really interesting (and not a bad plan).
Let us know what you decide to do :-)
