Still not sure if this is a good idea....
Took me a long time to find and I am tempted to mothball it for a few years as the banks cannot offer the same interest rate
I shall list everything I know good and bad as I do not like surprises any more than you lot!

MOT and tax aug 2014
2 Previous owners, last for 10 years and has done his own servicing as he's a rather good engineer - he has filled out book - will check last belt service, but wasn't that many miles ago from memory.
Been dry stored by him (has numerous barns) and dry stored by me since I bought it in the summer.
It has small marks on all four corners and one rear plastic door arch trim has a scrape from something falling over onto it (don't ask!)
Basically a small amount of paint and a detail would make immaculate (the joys of black paint!)
It doesn't need any paint as such.
Interior carpets have been wet vacced and are nearly there, another quick clean will see them back to full glory.
Seats could do with feeding (i have just used last of my Gliptone conditioner on another car recently).
Had two fresh Numax batteries in august when i got it.
MOT advisory was front NS wheel bearing slight play - will endevour to get this adjusted this coming week.
The front swivels are moist, but by no means pouring out.
Other niggles....aerial motor works, but only top section goes up and down.
All windows work, rears are slightly slow.
One rear tyre is an odd make, rest match.
Steering wheel shows signs of wear inconsistent with rest of vehicle
It has had a new injector pump which was built up without the non essential bits, egr, "throttle hold between gear changes"? etc..
Since the work to replace pump and remove immobiliser the heater light is stuck on the dash and the timing belt light will,not reset, not sure if these are related!
Located in Dorset near Sturminster Newton.
