Tayne Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 As per the title.Pre-81, large enough engine to be comfortable on a long trip and, after the Kadette sale, probably around £2000-£2500.Feel free to tell me to piss off Trig but I like spending other people's money. I'll start with this.But I think it may be too long.http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C252203# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shite_meister Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Trigster why has it got to be under 187" and older than '81? I think you should get yourself a Rover SD1, fits all your criteria if you went for a series 1 and at 185" you'll have room to spare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 There's some great suggestions so far, that Mk1 Granada is top of my want list, it's only up the road as well but it's 180" long so i don't know if it would fit my garage plus i have tight driveway into my garden so again I'm sure if it's too wide. There's loads of early 80's cars i want but there's this classic car run called the ipswich to felixstowe run will is brilliant but only allows pre 1981 cars to entry. The Rover SD1 is also a good call but again same problem as the Granada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 To get more boot space in a 2CV, you could fit a 'bumpy' bootlid. Can you not just do the same thing with your garage door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it done! We added 4"to a mates garage with some 4x2 and a healthy dose of bodgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Now that Mantas more like it, sadly it's over budget though. I do like Volvo Amazon's and Triumph Dolomite's as well, I'm only 31 so it's got to suit a youngish person as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
