Sure that it was advertised on ebay before. If it is the same one it said that one of the front wings wasnt original. Not 100% sure it was this car but may be worth asking him before you set off.

yeah thats a tricky one, though if its a garage and hes been askin 18k for it,, expect some `bids` to go on near the end, so unless your willin to spend circa 17k on that i wouldnt make too many plans

yeah still got the cos, havent used it in months, fancy a change now but i dunno what

If that car has been on Orkney all its life then check for corrosion...

Its hardly the driest place in the British Isles and all that salt air too...

Also, there cant be many places this car has stretched its legs

Looks nice though
