Default UNDER SEAL OR NOT

How do i check to see if my baby has been under sealed or not? I live by the sea and i guess all that salty air will not do my clasic any good if it hasnt been under sealed.
If it hasnt where would i go to get it done and how much should this cost ?
Thanks

The under surface looks like it has a hard black coating,mine was done nearly 4 years ago and is fine (i live on the coast in Dorset).
You can do it yourself if neccesary, i think Halfords sell it you just need to get the car in the air (obviously)

I wouldn`t bother doing it yourself nightmare, i did it on my cosworth worst job i`ve ever done, it gets every bloody where, best thing to do is contact a few bodyshops and see if they will/or know anyone that can do it for you....
