OK folks - it all checks out according to my bro. He's just back from viewing it for his nosy brother (me). Regular MOTs serving by a local firm and it looks way better in the flesh, especially the interior. It has the 8 yellow injector Brodie Brittain set up btw.
Very minor rust here and there - easily remedied as its black. Always garaged since 94 but taken out for the odd run and kept roadworthy. If you wanted a concours car then forget it... but if you wanted one to actually have fun in and enjoy it sounds about right to me.
Have more info if anyone wants it

) My brothers wife won't allow another car into the household so he's out of the loop
