Default tough choice - worked XE or AUII fairlane Ghia?

It looks like I may have a tough choice ahead of me in the next few months.

I have the chance of buying one of 2 cars:

Worked XE with XF front, hot 351 with twin GRA system, hot cam, manualised and shift kitted C4 with stall, fresh paint, scoops, fresh interior, lowered, quick car and owned by my cousin. Car has done 5000ks since rebuild, and owned since 1992. Spent about 30k on it. Price to sell to me less than 10k. The car is immaculate and always garaged.

Buy a black AUII fairlane ghia and put 18in chromes on it. Price to buy around 20k.

Which should I buy?

I have sentimental feelings for the XE as I saw how my cousin built it and I grew up seeing the progression of how it is today. On the other hand the AUII fairlane is another good option and holds many feature advantages over the XE that appeal. The XE is a car I would like to keep in the family, the fairlane would be a nice addition though.

Whats your opinion?
