Very astute of you Mark as the car has indeed had some bodywork in the past, in fact a hefty bill for over £2300 for front end work back in Nov 2003. Bill details all parts used so that might explain the front right wing whilst today when closing the rear left car door, it closed with a different clunk. Whilst I'm no detective, that might explain the back left signs of corrosion around that wing.
Of course I did the usual checks and the car was Cat D in 2003 but has covered over 20,000 miles since then so felt confident enough to still buy. I'm very happy with the car, but the proof of the pudding will be the drive on Thursday, watch this space!
