Check the self leveling strut is working and doesn't leak.
Check the oil in the transfer box

The strut is used with cars on coil springs. Cars with air springs don't need them

Shame steering on the wrong side and Brexit issues.

But lots around in EU, don't forget Italy is even closer.

Why a classic and not a P38?

Genuine original Classics in good condition (corrosion is by far the biggest concern) are rare & expensive.

Refurbished are cheaper, but to what standard? .. always ask for photographic evidence of the rebuild.
The asking price is a clue to the workmanship involved
