Has arrived! A bit of a monster but she seems to be running fine and is in a lot better condition than I had expected (the interior seems to be almost flawless ). Really happy about it and looking forward to joining the elite . The engine idled very smoothly.

The only damage that was obvious was a little push on the front right (when facing it) making some of the panels slightly off. Some chips of paint missing and the panels above the rear door going down to the boot are rough, I think it's just old paint and will need to be touched up. Waiting for RWC though .
Anything I should be careful about? I intend on getting a full service while it's at the mechanic. Should I ask for new sparkplugs and a compression test?
