How many owners
What i am asking i guess is, how many previous owners has yours got, and have they still turned out to be good cars.
Also anything i should maybe be looking out for when buying a tintop, as i have never owned a tintop, only a couple of floppys

I'd rather the car have 20 different owners and to know that it was used rather than have 2 years and be sat for 20 years doing nothing
Mine has 15 btw

will just have to bite the bullet and actually go see it, only so much can be seen in pictures. The guy has been as honest as i think he can be, as i am travelling a bit to see it. Its not a minter i no that, but i am hoping it aint gonna be another shed.
Anyway worse that can happen is i lose my fuel money getting there and back.
Chudd i have read that, quite a few time over. Do you want to save me all the hassle and you sell me yours instead

Always buy on condition. Once it's past ten years the mileage doesn't really count for much.
I find it's better to buy based on body work than engine, for me an engine can be dropped in easier than new metal can be let into a shell.
Don't believe any last owner was careful and take any description with a pinch of salt.
Yradave says relax.

Just reading through your old posts, does have a few of the same problems you described in one of your posts, for example the steering wheel not on straight, as the seller has advised me of this.
Maybe just a coincidence ( i hope )
Where did you see the one you went to see advertised
