Just make sure you check thoroughly for rot.
This is the biggest bug bear by far, there are plenty out there but not many that haven't been subject to the rust worm.
Check the mot history online before even thinking about a viewing.
I spent alot of time with an AA man who had what appeared to be a minter that was a 3hour drive away, asked him about the rust issue and he said all good.
When I got there it was like showroom condition on the outside, really excited then got underneath and could see the pristine upholstery showing through the boot seam, it was everywhere when I questioned him he said can't you weld it.
I nearly wet myself and told him you need good metal to weld to!!
He scarpered and didn't even offer a cup of tea!
We started it up in his absence for a laugh and my mate vanished in billowing black smoke!! Asshole!!
Day of my life wasted so do your homework , once you get a good one you'll never look back.
Good luck, your in good hands here if you get one, best £10 I spent in a long time on membership.
