No when I went to view the car i did have a little check over it, however the underside was all wax oiled and that wouldnt have shown up through that.

Plus I was buying it off the chairman of an RSowners club, he said the car was reliable and only had the problems he told me on the phone. Rust around filler and A pillar few other minor things. How wrong was he had the car 2 weeks oil pump went, then after stripping found all the other things he forgot to mention.

Ahhhh well.
