Would a this be a bad choice for someone who’s never owned a classic car like this?
I’m not particularly knowledgeable about cars tbh. But I am looking for a car at the moment and this is very appealing.
What would the maintenance costs of this be like? When parts need replaced could it be a money pit?
Best looked after by a specialist garage or is that unnecessary?
I’ve just sold my f30 3 series that I owned from new but ended up having to spend thousands on it in the past 18 months. I’d like something that won’t bankrupt me when it breaks!
I’m quite far from Oxford near Glasgow. But I’ll be in London in October.
Edit - quick read up shows this would obviously suit someone with some knowledge of it.
Never too late to learn though… I can’t stop looking at it.
Engine parts are Ford so fairly plentiful. Some parts on the earlier GTE’s were Triumph. The body is of course grp so it isn’t going to rust on you. They are also fairly highly geared so the motor doesn’t get stressed.
If I won the lottery I’d have another in a heartbeat
