Hi Claire
I've been searching for information for a while and think i've got
most of it covered - overheating, stretched timing chains, blown
headgaskets and lots and lots and lots of rot seem to be the order of
the day - she looks and sounds proper from what I can see, no rot, a
virtually full service history from day 1 and a fantastic V8 burble -
maybe i'll fit a V8 in the Delorean !!!
Cheers
Robin
