Buying a second hand car has its pitfalls in any country, but buying one privately form another country is going to be difficult. I would suggest using the Autotrader website, or Ebay, and contacting the owner beforehand to get as much information as possible. A few cabs are for sale on the site, and at least you know they have been owned by enthusiasts. I consider this to be important with an older car, as cost isnt usually a consideration to someone who cherishes their car.
You will need to receive the V5 document, along with the present MOT certificate. You can also do a HPI check on a car to uncover any details about its past.
