    Get a PPI done. The early cars suffered with manifold issues and F1 pump issues that will hurt your wallet if they haven't already been addressed. There are too many variables to comment on an individual car. A proper inspection will reveal all. Expect to pay around £300 for a full inspection by a decent independent.

    I would buy it pending an inspection from Shiltech!

    So far I'm going to check the following:

    Manifolds replaced?
    Exhaust system brackets replaced?
    Clutch replaced? if not whats the wear?
    Front wheels not out of shape!

    Any other major questions?

    Thanks very much.
