I'm going to look at a '71 2+2 XKE at the weekend, armed with a good camera.
It would be great to hear some suggestions on what to look for, and what to photograph for later perusal.
I intend to take photos of the footwells, under the carpets, the engine compartment from all angles, the underside of the car (as much as I can see), the under-dash, the numbers on the chassis, VIN, engine, whatever else I can find, the interior (seats, dash, headliner, etc.), the shut lines of the doors, along the body panels, the spare tire and its well.
I'm not sure the car can be started or not: it certainly can't be driven (iffy brakes) - what should I be listening for?
Are there any notable problem areas in these cars I should be checking?
(And apologies for rather monopolising this forum over the last day or two!)
