A grey Ford 100e yesterday afternoon in Storrington.

A superb grey Triumph Herald on B2133 nr Billingshurst this afternoon.

Hi Ian

It's shocking how much people spend on modernising a classic car!

A Morris Minor 1000 around the Storrington and West Chiltington area today...

I think I'll keep my eyes peeled for a Ford 107e as recommended but he Minor and Herald are still contenders. I would, dare I say it, consider upgrading the engine and gearbox. I've heard that a Morris Minor goes quite well with a Ford type 9 gearbox and an engine from a MGF.

I appreciate this may ...

Thanks for the alternative suggestions chaps but I'll be sticking to a 50's / 60's motor within the £2k budget.

My father-in-law always fights the Allegros' corner and gets quite excited at the Beaulieau autojumble when he sees one for sale. Funny though how he's never bought one?!

Just to throw another car into the mix. What about a Ford 100e?

Any car modifications done prior to purchase should always be checked over by somebody who knows what they are looking at and can recognise a good job from a serious bodge or potential death trap! I'd always buy standard and have any mods done by somebody who knows what the hell they are doing ...
