  sold for £300 by a guy that looks as if he could be trustable. I took it for a test drive and it seemed solid enough (don't have any experience of driving old diesels) though it might need new brakes (I only have modern car brakes to compare it to). The car itself was in really good condition

  in daylight since collecting it from the dealership, and that is that the brake discs visible through the alloys are quite rusty.
