Classic shite required

[Rocket88]

Gentlepersons;

 

After having a bit of a clear out, I've decided to waste some money on some sort of classic shite.

Preferences are as follows[ in no particular order ]

 

Fiat 130 coupe

Vauxhall FD Ventora

Rover 110

Wolsey 6/110 or Westminster

Opel Commodore coupe

late seventies/early eighties Yanks

 

Anything else that tickles my wotsit. I think the above list gives you some idea of what I'm after, any other suggestions welcome. Budget is up to about £8k

[Sigmund Fraud]

For £8K, you can win Autoshite with one of those beauties :

 

 

You would even have some money left over, for routine maintenance (manufacturer recommends* sill and floorpan replacement, engine rebuild and wiring loom replacement every 3 months or 3000 miles).

[Rocket88]

That would deffo make the list, although I've heard that the cambelt can jump a couple of teeth if steering input of more than .000989 degrees is applied before the thing has reached working temperature, which will be 87 miles as the previous owner will have removed the thermostat to disguise the fact that the head gasket is borked...........

I think you would love ca. 1980 J-tin barges, too.

Toyota Crown Royal Saloon, sir?

Or how about the epitome of plushtasticness - a Talbot Tagora?

[skattrd]

Probably not what you're after but I've got a couple of Lancia's I'm thinking about shifting.

Cosmetically challenged Lancia Beta Spider & a nice HPE VX ... both currently road legal. £1300 for the spider £2500 for the HPE.

HPE covering well over 1000 miles in first week I had it: http://s87.photobucket.com/user/skattrd/library/Lancia%20HPE/Scotland%20April%202013

Weird Jap luxuriousness has always appealed.........although I presume spares will be a bit of a bugger?

[Bobthebeard]

If you have 8k to spend then the Autoshite world is yours for the taking!

You can have whatever you choose.

Jealous.....

70's E12 6 series. £1900 to buy it, needs a bit of tidying (i'm sure your budget would cover it) but mega cool and useable.

I would always go for an OJC, but something yank would be very cool too. I´d say Toyota Crown, Datsun 330 Cedric or maybe a nice Laurel.

 

 

[Junkman]

How about that Caprice on Leboncoin I posted in the Ebay thread? The '78 is the best of the bunch and they want only 2k roros for it.

Maybe half of 8k UK€ would go a very long way on it, if played smartly.

That would leave ample change for other exploits into the Empire of Shiteness.

[Angrydicky]

Be like me, but less rusty.

FOUR Atlantics in this auction, although this is by far the best. Plenty of other tat to choose from as well.

My Gamma coupe had had the PAS disconnected completely.  Was perfectly manageable without it.

That's the one. Seller sounds like a good bloke, but it's about as far from me as I am from logical reasoning....
