I like the OP's question and I agree a checklist may be very useful to many - including those purchasing somebody else's car. When I buy somebody else's Cobra I go through all these things mentioned as well (maybe not all the suspension bolt spec tightening - so that suggestion was helpful) as I assume the prior owner did limited/no maintenance. I usually find that my suspicion in this matter is very correct ): The lower the miles, the more they seem to LACK this kind of maintenance, especially as they become 10+ years old! The highest mileage car I had the pleasure to own (about 21K) was by far the cleanest and best maintained one of all of them!
