I would wholeheartedly agree with the buy the best-donor-you-can-afford doctrine. I bought mine last August and after sorting the minor horrors that didn't show upon the road test and which the vendor inadvertently failed to mention was on the button and going like a dream after a service at Queensbury Road Garage and all ready for the conversion in February.

Seemed to have hit a snag with the body production and fitting though.....but I'm sure it'll all come good in the end
