nice, cheers

I will say this: 964's are fast becoming difficult to find at a decent price - the coupe particularly.

Now this is what you call a soft row!!!

My eyes!

Had an H reg Mini Cooper back in 2001. It was a wonderful fun to drive, when it worked. Was a total money pit though, and back then i didn't have money to keep it in good order. ended up garaging it at my folks when i went to Uni, and forgetting about it. When I got round to getting it out again three years later, damp had got the worse of it and destroyed the interior, and finished off the sills. Never drove it again. I think my Mini days are behind me.

The more I think about it, the more I like the thought of an MG BGT. Do like that blue one, looks like it would be great fun.... but think maybe something thats more original might be a better investment.

like this one:

Going for a spin in the panty dropper would be good. Will be in touch next time im in your neck of the woods!

no probs - drop me a line.

i don't think i'd look at a b as an investment. there's too many of them. i like the look of that ,blue one as a track car. that one you have linked to is nice, but expensive.

this one is nice...

4.6L V8 shirley..

Not really looking to make money on it, just not lose (much) money!

a) roadster
b) i know that car. he wants WAY more than you think for it.

i am helping a dude at work find on at the moment. he is after an 1800, but I found this last night: which looks bloody good value

That's lovely. But an auto?

fuck - i did not notice that! (i was a bit wobbly...)

it wouldn't be a big deal to swap...

i wish i had bought a gt now...

Cant believe the donut put that 767b into the bales...

that fucking diablo! i need to know what that colour was

RS200 just spilled some guts at the finish...

Would also dig a Mk1 Escort, but god damn they are expensive. I knew they demanded a price these days, but no as much as the good ones are going for!

Would love this for summer weekends:

Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9, get a nice one for about 4k, an absolute blast, beautiful and on the right side of practical. Also holding value/appreciating.

I agree with @Crispin_Glover. However the 1.9 always seemed a bit too much.

Alternatively, what about one of the Series 1 Williams Clio's?

mk1 gti?
