Looked good until i saw this...
"This car was literally in a shed, untouched for 23 years! The owner drove it for the first year, parked it up and that's were is stood till I found it!, I put fresh fuel in and a battery and it started straight up! And sound epic, The brakes are a little sticky but it does drive, I drove it down the street and onto the recovery trailer, Engine sounds super sweet and being ford parts are plentiful".
He broke the first rule of any classic car that has stood for any length of time ..
I would of first...
1. Inspect a sample of petrol from the fuel tank for any rust.
2. Fit new bulkhead fuel filter as the old is most probably syrup.
3. Hand crank the engine to make sure it turns freely and has oil.
The new owner could be facing a complete fuel system overhaul now.....
Still cheap for what it is....

I think this is what Ziga meant...Ummm maybe worth me selling my spare 280 FHC, need to try it's 95% complete. I bought it to make into a racer, but in the end was cheaper to buy one that had all the race parts on it. need find the chassis number and try and get a log book as it's not got any licence plates.
Wish I could also get the chassis number of the racer as its not got one that I can find
