Decided not to proceed.
Correct decision imho. At £14.500 is overpriced for engine type and condition.
280's might be (allegedly) strong but they're also greedy and difficult to work on. And did I mention underpowered? Probably the main reason my car is now diesel
My recommendation would be to seek out a 300 which is the much better engine/box/running gear combination although the rust issues should still be your prime concern.
