Love the look of these. I'd want to know more about what 'restoration' work has been done to the underside given the many previous corrosion related failures/advisories on the MOT history. Has it been properly addressed or just some rough 'MOT fix' welding that's been sprayed over with underseal to hide any horrors?

repairs in most recent MOT seem pretty extensive TBH -

Cut out affected metal on O/S and N/S rear chassis cross beams.
Above fuel tank, make up and weld in repair panels as required.

Make up heavy gauge metal as required.
Fabricate new O/S/R trailing arm mounting and bracket and anti roll bar bracket.
Weld all new panels.

Finish all repairs with seam sealer and black stone chip.Works for this underbody work totalled £2,355 by a well trusted and long used garage."

Advice please!
So, I’m seriously considering chucking a bid or two in on this 94 Nissan Patrol. Can anyone advise on what availability of parts would be for ongoing maintenance moving forward? I’ve never owned a car this old, or with anywhere near this kind of mileage. so not sure how available parts will be when they inevitably need replacing.
