The private seller sounded genuine but not a lot of information. Ken Lion of Radcliffe came to the rescue at very short notice and went to see it for us the day before. Thanks Ken for all your time, effort and informed advice/notes and late night pounding of the keyboard! The seller unaware of this club was quite bowled over by the extent of his knowledge and both our general enthusiasm for the marque. We intend to restore it as much as we can. Thanks again to Ken and all others who can help out in this way.

Thanks for the feedback And good it all came to fruition

Thanks Ray, hope you enjoy it.
But I'm very near the bottom of the class on here with my very limited knowledge so I can't imagine what Peter (the seller) would make of the people on here who really do know these cars.

Edit:
Ray, after encouraging you to join after you made the purchase, I've just twigged that you've been a member since December '13. That was an act of faith before buying! (I've just renewed)

I too have benefited from this.although not on the list,Organiser(Tom) has been and viewed a car on my behalf today, and given his approval, so I'm off to view it on Monday. Tom is also go ng to collect me from the coach station and take me to the dealer's address. Many thanks indeed Tom

Please don't forget, even if a local member views a car and approves it for purchase but collection and delivery is a problem, my no profit collection/delivery service is available. I'm always happy to give a no obligation quote.
