I would love that despite its potential for some big bills to get it on the road.

Looks like a good project and could probably be done as a rolling restoration.

It's in much better condition than mine was, and it's been on the road every year since I got it.

It's not a Vantage though - it's a V8 Saloon.

I truly love these cars.

I would have to see this one before buying, though. It's clearly had a respray and I'm not sure that's a standard colour (not that it would bother a lot of people). It also looks like it might have had some work done at the base of the driver's side B pillar.

My belief is that you either buy a car that's as close to perfect as possible and pay the money or you start at the bottom and do it yourself to ensure it's been done right. I reckon this one probably fits into the second category, depending upon what it finally goes for. But that could prove expensive.
