I'm looking at buying one of these in the very near future.
Apart from using basic common signs and sense when buying a car such as this, are there any distinct signs or pitfalls specifically connected with the V8 that i should be armed with? What sort of oil pressure is "acceptable" on a 420 V8 with e.g 150k presuming it has been serviced regulary? I know these are fairly cheap to buy now - peanuts really, but dont want to "flush my money down the pan" through lack of specific knowledge.
Any help or advice at all would be appreciated especially from an owner.
