What did they do for £11,000?

Everything I think!

All new front suspension (active ride struts, springs, bushes, top mounts link cables compliance bushes - the lot!)
Brakes: new pads (big disc model) pump, accumulators, full hydraulic service.
Rear suspension: spring pan (slightly rusty) spheres.
Steering rack (leaking)
Thermostat and all sensors, coolant flush and refill.
Alarm.
Central locking.
Cleaned everything underneath and then re-rustproofed everywhere (you know how these old girls like to corrode!)
Full engine service.
Gearbox service.
One seat ecu.
I think that's the main bits. Loads more bits and pieces they did and they stopped charging me labour after a certain point: just charged me two hours labour for all the little bits and pieces (one horn not working, new wipers/arms, stereo malfunction - hours and hours spent on that! straightened all the jacking points as they were bent, changed a hinge on the bootlid, so many little niggles - oh yes, new number plates....) the list of faults I'd found were horrendous, and then they fond more!

Worth it? Well, it drives like a new car now. It was bought having had little use for years (100-150 mikes per year) and belonged to one of those chaps that thinks that little mileage requires little maintenance! All the little jobs had been allowed to add up and a few big ones (the front suspension - £4.5 K alone!).

However, this is my dream car, always wanted one so to get it right at the start was the only way to go for me.

At this very moment in time I'm leaning towards this

If it was £370,000 cheaper it'd be well in budget.
