Stunning cars and the best all round engines - just make sure they are free from rot, be careful if they have chrome arches as that usually means they've rotted - check the arches and front panel, also check for any oil leaks as these can be a pain to fix sometimes, other than that, pretty bullet proof and an appreciating classic in my book!
