The shake is probably either a bad steering damper, or a loose upper front 
torsion bar. Check this quickly as the upper bar problem is only easy to fix if 
it is caught quickly.  

I'm frankly astonished that it was driveable. I had assumed that this car had 
not moved in many years.

Congratulations!!! It's wonderful news that such a rare beast has fallen into 
good hands.
