Hmm...

I am VERY interested in this.

I just need to figure out a few things, like getting it back to Manchester, where to put it when it gets here (I'm presuming it won't get through an MOT, being laid up for 10 years) and most importantly - I need to persuade Mrs. Sideways that we need a 300 in our lives!!

So, down to brass tacks. I need to know if it'll run and how bad the tin-worm is on it, especially underneath and on parts like the front panel which are pretty much unobtainable now,

Sorry for so many questions but I've been bitten before - I bought my Capri in similar circumstances and it turned out to be a right lemon... 9 years later I've still not got it on the road and I can't bring myself to sell it!
