AnthonyG Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 If he wants no hassle, he might be better off sticking with the BGT, it's popular for a reason, they are the ultimate simple to own classic - parts supply is better than most modern cars as a example.I know they are boring and a cliche, but they are not bad to drive, and he should get an pretty good 1970s one for £3000. You get get chrome bumper retrofit kits for the rubber bumper models, and I am fairly sure you can sort out the ride height as well. Lots of general performance & handling mods out there as well.But a 1973/4 might be best, as these are not tax exempt they are not worth a lot more than rubber bumper jobs. Body rot is the biggest thing to look for, check a shiny car is not full of filler underneath. Any genuine car being sold for around £3k should have all its running gear in good order.I would avoid a Stag at this money - a good one starts at about £5, dressed up shitters (which is what he'll get for £3k) are not worth it.

AnthonyG Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 How about an "02" BMW? Can you get a reasonable one of those for £3000?In a word, not really.That's 2 Nicely spotted Reg - it was obviously a test of grammatical skill, which I'm happy to say you passed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Alfetta GTV. Won't be be tax exempt but a really nice one, even a V6 should be in budget.That was my 2nd prize for 'sight of the week' - this morning I passed an early 80s GTV pulling a trailer with a 2nd race prepped GTV of the same style on the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
