No rust underneath all wax oiled , new hood 4 years ago always covered so little or no bleaching. I've owned the car 10 years and in the time the water pump has been replaced the handbrake system has been replaced, all brake pipes replaced and wax oiled. The power steering pipes replaced also the cooler pipe, the whole front end has been overhauled with new shocks. Next MOT due 21/05/2024, Red, 5+ owners, £7,500
