Steve, look through the yellow pages in your area and ask around to find out who is one of the most respected British car mechanics. The guy will probably be 50-70 years old. Contact him and tell him you want to pay him to look at a car and advise you on how much it would/could cost to get it running and perhaps a reasonable estimate on its value.

That looks like a car that would be fun to fix mechanically, but leave the patina alone and just drive and enjoy it without being concerned about the odd door ding, wheel rash, etc.

Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car has been featuring a lot of beautiful old cars like that recently... original, not restored.
