I'm looking at buying a Shadow 2 as a 'daily driver'. I live and work in Qatar but try and pop back to the UK for 5 days per month. I'm wanting to buy a Shadow for when i'm back in the UK and run on a day to day basis.

Everyone I here says buy the best you can afford. If it works and runs fine as the car will be nearly 40 years old, is there any day to day maintenance required? Will it be happy stood for a few weeks at a time? I've seen some Shadows on the market for £4000, some for £8000 and some for £20,000. I was looking at around the £8000 mark. Good idea or bad idea?
