I went for a test dive in a 31 I am hoping to buy. The car started and ran fine. Upon our return, we stopped at the foot of the driveway to take some pictures. I thought the owner, who was driving, had turned off the engine. When he attempted to restart the car it would not. We discovered the fuse had blown. He claimed this had never happened in the 4 years he owned the car. With a new fuse installed the car started right up and everything worked fine. Now, I'm concerned there might be something wrong with the electrical system and wonder if I should buy the car. Any suggestions on what to do now will be most welcome. Thanks in advance.
