I have followed this thread with interest as I bought my 1973 P1800ES last March on-line at the Bangers and Cash (Mathewsons) auction, also entirely unseen. Like Delores, the bodywork seems quite good with evidence of work done on the sills. It was made clear that the engine was not running well (see my thread on fuel injection) and while it will now idle I think the injectors are leaking as it's running rich. I wonder if the fuel injection on your car is working OK.
And I find the steering quite heavy so there might be work required there. How is the steering on your car?
