So after a day and a half 'having a look' it turns out to be a really good car. Lots of baked on mud (think it was owned by a farmer TBH) but that seems to have protected it a bit as it is as solid as a rock. No rust anywhere!
The offside front brake seems to be binding a little but it passed an MOT last week with no advisories!
The water leak isn't from the roof; it's from the aerial rubber. Perished and split. Bit of silicone for now (that is going when the wing comes off).
Explains why the radio has no signal; the aerial terminal is soaked and all rusted/ corroded. All dried and sorted!
Engine bay needs a good clean, oil needs changing (age rather than mileage) and the coolant needs topping up, just need to work out what is in it!
A/C doesn't work (no gas) but that is hardly surprising as it's been sat idle for at least 18 months. I can sort that myself if needs be, but I think the A/C will be redundant for what I want to do.

Vacillate endlessly over several threads about which car to buy, then buy none of them. Make a rash purchase of something you don’t really want, then sell it immediately to make way for more dithering…
I can see why A/C would be superfluous to that

I thought it's meaning was 'the action of applying petroleum jelly'. :?
I’m glad I haven’t met you or the thought of you “vacillating endlessly” would be all the more disturbing! It could only be worse if PVR was vacillating with you!
