Indeed but if it's spent it's life on the east coast of Scotland (as the SL number plate would suggest), then you can guarantee that it'll be TOTALLY rotten underneath :(

..yep, was going to ask, is there a chance it might not be rotten, or are they pretty much all kippered up there. The only car I've ever viewed in a coastal location was a rare (for a reason :)) 924 Auto in Newhaven. It had a list of advisories as long as your arm describing the 'harsh corrosion' 8O

I suppose it depends if it's lived next to the coast all it's life, and whether it was used all year round when it was new. If its a yes for both, then a double dose of salt all it's life will mean its probably got a bulkhead like the Titanic.....
