Hi all
I'm going to take a look at this tomorrow -> http://www.mandmautomotive.co.uk/used/AC/COBRA/AET...
Firsty, anybody know this car?
Secondly, a check on the reg brings this up as a 'Daimler'; is this wrong/undesirable/nothing to worry about (I know the underpinnings are all Jag etc..)
Any prompt advice on the above and generally what to check when buying a kit such as this would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers,
Ben.

Hmmm...
Took a look. On the face of it it looked very nice, although could have been cleaned up a bit. The 'salesman' made no effort to try and sell it. It was parked right in the middle of a collection of cars, no intention to get it out into the sun or even start it, let alone allow me a test drive apparently unless I put down a deposit.
I took a look under - very low sump (not sure if that's normal) had been clearly whacked, with a large-ish pool of oil.
The owner of the business gave me no history of the car and claimed he knew nothing about it when questioned. I did get a large lump of paperwork to work my way through on my own. Suspension advisories seems prevalent...will stop there.
I walked away, partly due to listening to my head and partly due to the seller's lack of interest in selling it. Plus I know they paid £17,900 for it in an auction 2 months ago.
Looked nice but I'll keep looking.

Yes, I'd pay no more than 20K for it. They're even using the same wording (exactly) as the auction house they bought it from two months earlier!
Saw your link, nice, but I'm after something more specific - in fact I'm kicking myself as I missed a very nice Dax for 23.5K a week or so ago. Private sale, bang on price but not surprisingly it's now sold.
I'll keep looking until the right thing comes up
