I'm nearly 50 so no mods will be done. I will however be getting it totally re-sprayed at some point. I always wanted one for some strange reason. I have been all over France in it, and not so much as a bulb has blown. I like it!

That is fair enough, never too old /young but have your car the way you want it. Excellent you will be keeping her as mint as possible, paint looks good in that picture but I appreciate it is a wee one and they can hide sins well.
Like the travelling, something I hope to do at some point. Some have issues but as yours shows it is not the rule, sounds like you have a good one.

Talking

I think the guy who owned it before spent a lot on it to iron the faults out. I just had a cambelt changed and a full service done. The only issue is the really high clutch pedal, due to the master cylinder needs replacing. The clutch itself is fine. There's a few scratches and minor dings as expected. But he (Midge) drives superbly!

A high clutch is standard, maybe not as high as yours though. There is a kit for the V6's that helps this a bit as well as improving the whole clutch hydraulics but not sure if it's available for the K4's.

Hey! Nothing wrong with that! No rules on here with regards being too old for any of that

Good to hear it's been good for you, mine's been pretty reliable in 10 years, only had a couple of issues that required recovery, seized caliper, failed clutch slave and dodgy starter.
