Recently bought a 93 plus4 that will be a daily driver. Spent a lot of time on light restoration, re- colouring trim, cleaning up the black powder coating, improving the chrome wheels and finding out what a pleasure it can be to work on traditional cars again after 40 years. Found myself lying backwards under the dash like a limbo dancer, much to the amusement of the wife, who thinks i must be potty.
Keep looking for excuses to drive somewhere, know that feeling?

regards jbk

Welcome. Yes I know the feeling.
I have a 97 +4 so I think your choice of car is perfect.

Please post some pictures

Welcome cheers

After you have driven a fair distance it feels really strange to get back into a "modern" car. No bonnet out the front and all the controls are way too light. Braking is the worst, lots of sudden stops until you tune back in again.
