Graham - there are always hassle free cars out there - like any low volume handbuilt car (or anything) buy one from an owner who cares or a reputable dealer and you can be pretty sure you're getting a good car that will be well sorted.
Any car thats been used by an owner is liable to be well sorted out. Personally I'd avoid a 'super low' mileage car, as it will probably still have some initial tweaking to do. Taking into account the law of averages it makes sense I think...
