Always good to see old cars like this still in service and not enthusiast owned (presumably).  This one would have been ex forces as it's black and is a 1980 car but registered in 1983.  It's done well to survive at 113000+ miles, check out it's MOT history link theres been a massive amount of welding required over the years to keep this car on the road (I don't think I've seen so much corrosion failure before).  He only does a couple of hundred miles a year if that so you were lucky to spot it.

A lot of welding, that must be patch over patch over patch 😁

Wow! I never thought to check the DVLA. Ex forces you say. I would love to know its history. The front wings were unbelievably shot.
