what about an XK8? lovely motor

have you chosen yet?

I told my bro' in law he was a nit for paying 15k for his '86 Porsche 911 Supersport couple of years ago....

I have not chosen yet, thing this is going to be a long job!
I'm now toying with selling my TR7 to make a bit of room for a new arrival.
A friend of mine paid 14 grand a few years ago for a '79 911 3.2 coupe and I thought he was mad, looks like he could have doubled his money
E-type is still top of the list but from a practical point of view a 3litre Capri, XJS, escort Rs2000 or Cosworth Sierra all make more sense.

sierra gets my vote

Had a Cossie in my youth and loved it, MIB3366 where are you now?!
Been looking on away from evil bay and at other sites that advertise classic cars and seem to be finding much cheaper cars advertised elsewere.

once owned and enjoyed you can move it on and get some decent cash back

+1 Go get your dream car, I went and made my dream happen for me. One main reason was I did not want to look back and think I wonder what it would have been like to own one and drive to LeMans etc.
My car has gone up in value somehow, that was never in my mind when I bought it in 07. It just happened I cannot see them dropping either, to what I paid for it in 2007. Those days are long gone.
As I say 'EVERY MILE IS A SMILE'

i tried to buy an e type when i was 18.. mum & dad banned me.. it was a tidy motor for £8000..

We have a decent V12 E type coming in PX very soon and it will be very sensibly priced (not sure how much yet) but I can keep you posted if you like?

Why not? The worst I can do is say no thank you if I dont fancy it
