• @lynx I've also been thinking this too, especially since the new MCM series. I'd like to 'attempt' an engine swap on whatever it is so wouldn't mind a poverty spec car to help bring the price down. Will get the tape measure out tomorrow.

    @nefarious the car will be a long-term project with lots of tinkering so don't fancy sitting in the boot to work on the engine! Saying that, I would love a mk1.

    MK1 is easy to work on, but finding one that isn't rusty.

  • with no sunroof

    Great minds think alike. An e28 would be my first choice but e30 would mean more space around the car to work and move. Avoiding a rotten one is definitely sound advice but will be getting a welder eventually so hopefully helps.

    @ricky2slicky neither MR2 nor Boxter get me excited personally, 944 maybe, but again I think they're probably out of my price range. No love for the MGB?
