Very happy with the price I got for it, in fact I made a bob or two
I was planning on buying a 2+2 E type as I want something I can get my lads involved with as well but I've decided to go for something more mainstream and practical so I've narrowed it down to either a 3 litre or early 4 speed 2.8i Capri, an RS2000 or a Stag.
I think the MGF will be next up for sale, if anyone wants a excellent, early MG then this could be the car for you. I'm looking for offers around £1,200 for it which a know is top ceiling for one of these but its really a very good example and you would spend far more than that reconditioning a dog for £600
Nowt wrong with a sports car that's no harder to live with than a Beetle, good choice. I've only owned one Porsche, a 1979 911 Targa, and that would go anywhere including onto the beach and - at the other end of the autumn - through snow that even my Peugeot 305 estate used to baulk at.
J "Home is where you park it", so the saying goes. That may yet come true..
Thanks, I'm pretty pleased with it. These later cars have a deserved reputation for lunching their engines but the previous owner of this car was savvy enough to have a Porsche maintenance contract on it. 8,000 miles ago the intermediate shaft bearing failed smashing the engine up and Porsche were forced to fit a brand new factory unit to it, this is the only reason I bought it and all for less than the price of a good Stag or RS2000

I bet he cheered, and the dealer / Porsche UK cried buckets. I dread to think what the bill would have been otherwise.
Still his (and your) gain
Landrovers and Welding go together like Bread and Butter. And in the wet they are about as structurally sound
