Low mileage 200

Hi all, on the verge of purchasing a low mileage (25k) 62 reg 200ff from a friend, car will be used as a sort of daily B road blaster and odd track day as And when.
My last 200 was on cup shocks and grams springs and intend to put the same springs on this one too. My question is do I replace the cup shocks at the same time for new genuine cup shocks? The car is very low mileage as stated but is 9 years old now, not interested in Coilovers. Thanks for any advice
 
Cup shocks are relatively inexpensive. If you think the original shocks are 9 years old then it is worth replacing the shocks for new.
