bigkeeko - "a bit of a wasted journey". Is that like being "a bit pregnant" !
Yes - I was a tad disappointed that the car that I'd (sort of) expected to be as nice as I thought I'd find was not anywhere near as good. I understand that cars age, and things go wrong, but I thought that maybe this one, having been owned by a proper enthusiast, would have been kept immaculate (you know like those 30 year old cars you see in concourse competitions that are unmarked). To find scuffed wheels faulty air con and a significant oil leak was a surprise I admit. I guess that's the difference between an ehthusiast and an obsessive !
The thread was not intended as a rant (honest) but I had to set the scene I guess as to why I was asking the "are there any nice ones left" which, in isolation, might have seemed odd to anyone who thought there were loads. It occurred to me that with only 800 built and me having seen a very late one owned by an enthusiast with low miles that was as disappointing as that was, then maybe I'm barking up a tree that doesn't exist.
