If you were to buy an Austin Seven today - what would you look for?

When I bought my first Seven late last year I thought I had bought the first of Ian's variants. Naive fool! The more I delve the more I realise I have stuff to do - crank and camshaft, carb, fuel tank, wheel bearings and king pins (oh and while the engine's out I might as well strip the gearbox).Quite happy with this as I'm enjoying getting back on the spanners, but I now want something to just drive around in and which I can be less particular about than the 65, so an oily rag with a known history would be my pick just now.
