So I think I'm about to buy a very original two owner 1970 124 Wagon in excellent condition.
The first owner had the car until around 2014 when he passed away and the car was then sold to a friend of mine who now wants to sell it.
It's a lovely, reliable old machine that still has lots of life left in it. It has however been 'personalised' by its first owner, who seems like he was a little eccentric. He added a bunch of extra gauges under the dash including an altimeter ...
He also labelled everything with Dymo tape - and I mean everything.
Because it's in such lovely original condition, the temptation would be to restore it back to factory standard but I'm of the opinion that it has such character that if I buy it I'll leave it precisely as it is.
Any other opinions?
Chris
