Looks/sounds ok, trouble is you cannot see much from photos, such as fav rust spots ie rear arches, if these are original you know there is some money waiting to be spent etc.
If you are close enough go have a look or phone for more details, and emailed piccies of arches etc.
I would not go travelling half the uk to see cars, a lot of owners think they are a goldmine when they describe their perfect car and a lot are sheds.
Consider the mileage, you WILL soon have to get work done ie rebuild, new turbo etc.

Thanks for the reply, few things to think about there.

The guy has sent me another 20 or so pics, arches, interior (which is very nice and tidy) etc so think could be worth a look. Plus its only about 50 mins away from me

Cheers for the comments guys, cant wait to have a proper look round it!
I've wanted a cossie since i was about 13 so thought its about time I got one.

I've had it HPI'd at work this morning and it all seems ok, not to worried about little bits of paint work really so there room for abit of bartering

I'll let you all know when I'm allowed in the Cossie Room

Where do you get the front trim strip that doesn't have cut-outs for the wipers??? My wipers are removed, but the half-moon cut-outs in the trim look silly.
