Not got a cover on it Fjaimo10! Just safely tucked away in a garage. Not a bad idea for security though, may look into that one.

You can carry out most maintenance on it your self which will be oil and filter changes, air filter clean or change,fuel line filter and at longer periods check plugs, points, distributor cap, rotor arm etc. If you keep it standard it should be a nice classic car. Good luck and enjoy owning it.
Hi cossynut2. Thanks for the reply. The car has some modifications. I'll list them below.
Lowered Single leaf rear springs
Quaife L.S.D
Front and rear disk brakes
Fast road Cam
Kenlow fan
Webber Carb
Four branch manifold
Stainless steel exhaust
Rev limiter
My biggest concern was the rev limiter, not dealt with anything the like of this before. Looks to a Micro Dynamics rev master. Really not sure what to with this haha.
I unfortunately have no contact with the previous owner. The car was from dealership who could not pass on the details. Though I'm trying to find some contacts.
Quick picture for the sake of it.
