No point, the one you already have could be with that sort of cash injection.

Well that was a wasted journey! The car isn't in my opinion as nice as the pictures / price suggests. There has been a fair bit of welding in the past. There is a hole and rot to the nearside sill, offside inner wing rusted into a hole, spare wheel well hole. There is silicon sealer on the top of the quarter panels below the roof rails for some reason. Broken nearside tail light. Rot on the slam panel with evidence of the VIN plate having been relocated for some reason. Passenger side door glass not matching remainer of glass in the car, and interior door handle missing. This is just a few of my observations.

Nice vendor though.  But a wasted journey. I imaged a car at strong money like this should be a lot better..

That's a shame.... I would'nt mind the fact that it had some welding if it was well done as these are old now, however, the way you describe it makes it all sound a bit messy and for something that needs trailoring away it doesn't seem worth it.n  Keep looking, there's still a few good ones about, what's your max budget and what would you like ideally?
