Any good reason why I shouldn't at that price? Do we know what "extensive rust" can mean to one of these? I have never seen under one and don't know much about them (other than I would need to do a City & Guilds in hairdressing before setting out onto the open road)

'Extensive rust' probably means front chassis rails, sills, rear wheelarches and possibly the entire rear wing. The front chassis rail issue is specific to the Mk2.

Oh deary me, I can sense an oval-shaped appointment in that MK2 Granny's diary.

Those seem to rust even worse than the mk1s. There's pretty much a point of no return rust wise with these when they start to go around the rear of the cills and floor the doors won't close properly and stuff. Spend a bit more and buy a non rotten one I recon that ones probably only worth bumming for its running gear.

Each to their own, but I really wish people wouldn't try and make half-arsed Mercury sled replicas out of Amazons. It would look better without the overriders in the grille.  

 

TBH, it isn't worth £1500 without an MOT. The satin black paint job looks alright (although the red it went over is a really saleable colour) and the crossmember work is usually a horrible, drawn out affair. 

Early steels are nice, though.
