[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 269395, member: 6969"] Why be wary of petrol? Is that just the high fuel consumption, or are there other issues? I'm planning to go and look at it and take it for a drive next week some time. But I'm finding more questions than answers. For instance, he says's it's 1970, which ties with the H registration plate, yet it has a series 3 interior, but the S3's were not made until at least 1971. So it may have been "upgraded" which as a collectors vehicle makes it less attractive. Also he says it has a galvamised chassis, but it's all painted in waxoyl. Pointless for a galvanised chassis. So I need to scrape a little of that off to confirm it really is a galvanised chassis, not plain steel. And I've had a good chat with my BIL who restores old vehicles and he's told me all the bits to look at. [/QUOTE]
