Thanks everyone for the info. Will give this one a skip.

If I had the coins I’d still be keen.

1) Get it inspected. I dealt with the chap who runs Runnymede & found him to be quite straightforward.
Can’t see you wanting to have a good look underneath to be a problem.

2) Even if it has been bodged you can rectify it at your leisure. Obviously if it drives okay, buy it, enjoy it, correct it at a later date.

For me the V550/V600 is my absolute dream car & if the opportunity arose I would find a way to make it work.

3) If it is okay-ish but not right, and you bought it, enjoyed it & subsequently had it restored / corrected then you’d be an absolute hero in the Newport Pagnell AM V8 community for doing so, and the car is SO well known that I would suggest the money spent would be recouped when the values inevitably climb.

Your choice obviously but that’s my $0.02 & what I’d do if I could.
