Morning all.

Would appreciate some advice.

I need to get a car for schlepping up and down motorways for work. Not daily but a couple of times a week. Budget £10k. Rather than get something 'normal' I wondered about an R129. I don't care about investment value but I do like the idea of having a loafing GT to float about in, dropping the roof and taking the long way home occasionally.

The thing is it would have to live outside on the street. I know about the legendary build quality etc, but they're getting on a bit - can they handle it?
