Vintage Ford Cortina

I've seen this beautiful vintage Ford Cortina XL at a couple of car shows now and I am considering buying it. She's a beautiful looking set of wheels, but comes with an incredible history as well. She was originally owned by the Managing Director of Ford Dagenham in London back in the day. It was his own personel car. Not only that, but he kept a log book recording not only each service but also each fuel fill he did. She's on sale for £5,000 sterling, ono. What do you think? Worth a punt?? http://imgur.com/iRlvMaD

I hope you buy it. I thought the Cortinas were pretty nice looking and much better for driving than the Anglias. They were imported into the USA briefly, but not in big numbers.
