It's all go here init?
Go for it Phil, it doesn't hurt to have a look even if you don't buy it. You will get a feel for what is good/bad and doable.
I'll get straight to the point about my knowledge of Dolomites:- Not a lot! only theory!
It's only what i have read on here. Only seen one 'up close and personal' which had been stashed in a barn for a good few years and need a complete resto.
I do however have a reasonable amount of savvy, having tinkered about thru the years with various old Fiesta, Escort, Cortina, Granada, Metro, Astra type things.
I would offer my limited knowledge in looking at this car for you no sweat but from what I've read you're in safe hands with Ken.
I would say if it is any good and you do buy it. When something needs fixing or checking, ask on here and try to have a go yourself. Most of the day to day stuff is easy. I would think even the most inexperienced person would be able to check and replace oil, water, lights, trim etc. So long as they have 2 arms and 2 legs
The quickest way to learn something is ask and have a go yourself. Even if you make a pigs ear of it, someone will be able to help.
Good luck and above all else, enjoy
P.S I am in Stortford if you need a hand.
