Welcome to the site, that estate looks a good one and very practical for a family man. They were the favourite of decorators and window cleaners some years back when they were cheap as chips. a mate of mine had several at different times as a self employed decorator over the years and just ran them as a working car until they failed the mot or broke down. If i remember i don,t think he ever paid more than £400 ( those were the days ) and never even serviced them although i once did a cam belt, oil and filter etc change for him on on particular nice one. Hope you manage to find a gear lever gaiter i have seen new old stock ones fetching over 80 plus quid on the bay.
