Well then. It drives quite nicely!

The paintwork has some pretty rough spots. I think I'll take my machine polisher to this one fairly soon and see how it comes up.

A tiny amount of gunk on the water filler cap.
Nothing on the oil filler cap.
Smells a little smokey to me, but let's see how it is after a few miles as it has been sitting for six months.
Oil looks black, will change as soon as a service kit arrives from dmgrs, along with filters etc.
Needs a new drivers door seal.
Boot shows signs of leaking before but not currently sodden.
Hasn't had PRT thermostat conversion.
A light buzzing somewhere around 2000rpm.
