Have you give it a good cheak over to find any hidden rot?
you got all or any previouse history with it to show whats been done etc,as dont think you would want ot replace few panles and that,and then find its rotting undernieth or somewhere.

Thats what i thought with mine, A reg 66k always garaged, it s not untill you start to have a proper poke about, back of strut tops, inner rear arches, bottom of A pillar ....
Definatly worth having a good look around it before you spend ???'s getting it painted just for it to fail its next MOT.

Very tidy 4 a C reg, love the early big badge grill
