Cheers for the comments guys ,

Its done 118k with a history and a service file , all receipts and record of everything thats been done over the 12 yrd period that the last guy owned it.

Yip its got some rott issues on where the floor meets the sill , not the worst I have seen , in general its a clean unmolested car ,

Plans are to fix the rott and drive it , just leave it totally standard
