What would you buy?

Thought we could play a little shite car related game to divert away from the grumpy threads lately.

You have Ã‚Â£6000, the amount a decent secondhand family car costs, to buy whatever car or cars you would like using www.ebay.co.uk (Using only completed items, BIN or classified listings), www.carandclassic.co.uk or www.autotrader.co.uk.

The only rules are the car must be moted and running and be a decent alternative to a family modern motor (so NO Stanley Steamers or Peels), and you can buy more then one car and bonus points for wackiness!.

Mine are:

Renault 7 for Ã‚Â£1500

Just because your not going to be parked next to another one down Sainsburys car park.

Consul for Ã‚Â£2250

I don't care if it's as rotten as a pear underneath, It' still beautiful!.

Mk1 Cortina 1500 for Ã‚Â£1890

I've always wanted one of these i hope to find one one day that's affordable and not rotten, Here's to hoping!.

That leaves me Ã‚Â£360 to keep them running.

This is pretty hard, and almost everything on C&C is worthy of the ebay bargins thread. I would quite like this though:

Ã‚Â£5795

47,376 · June 15, 2010

Holy shit, I want that 130 as well, 5-speed manual!! I have NEVER seen a manual one.

Well, would be rude not to buy this! Ã‚Â£795

http://carandclassic.co.uk/car/C157540/

A dizzler AS 346 for Ã‚Â£1495

http://carandclassic.co.uk/car/C161532/

This, for weekends away Ã‚Â£2799

and then, we have ...

http://carandclassic.co.uk/car/C161089/

for some serious load lugging at Ã‚Â£425

with perhaps this pushing me a couple of hundred over budget

well neither of us can have it, it's already been sold. And I can't drive. It is pretty bloody immense though innit?

FMR_owner, That Armstrong-Shiteley is superb, just look at those awful stick-on rear lights! I bet that would cause some beards to be sullied by angry drivel/dribble at the next A-S club meet!

I would buy every one of the cars I chose but the Visa and AS346 would be top of the list!

2.5k · June 15, 2010

Local Sierra with apparently 36k on the clock, Ã‚Â£800 ono.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1988-VAUXHALL-CAVALIER-L-SILVER-5600-miles-new-/250651549765?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3a5bff2045

MKII Cav with less than 6k miles! Ã‚Â£1579 ono.

Ive always wanted one of these, Ã‚Â£1200 ono.

And Id spend the rest on this.

That leaves me with quite a wedge spare, ill spend that on storage costs then.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/DAIMLER-2-5-V8-GO ... 35a99700a2

This would be my choice, always wanted one, British, V8, cheaper than a mk2 Jag, column change auto, (why oh why do I suddenly want to drive a car aith a column change gear selector, is it the start of the male menopause??)

God, Some of you guys have great taste! , That Daimler is lovely, Think I'd go for a nice grey or even Blue personally, And Brammy I was looking a Sierra for my choice as well, I still love them, They maybe even one of Ford's best cars IMHO.
