Datsun 260Z 2 seat,
when I was poor I had one I reassembled from boxes, previous owner took it ALL to bits to redo it. So much work to rust cure and make a great runner. Kept it for years but later felt I wasn't doing right by the car so sold it to someone with the money to finish it nice. I now have the time and money but my car is being driven by another.

Love the little Fiat, I have run two air cooled 126's and a BIS. For me the BIS was a much better and usable car with the rear hatch, a much better engine which was more reliable and a little bit more powerful. An absolutely fabulous little car that you cannot help but to fall in love with. Even when the missus stuck flower and bumble bee stickers on it.

Hey really like this channel. Kids have flown the coup (finally!) So the wife reminds me how car crazy I was, before the kids. Yeah long story short. Been looking around for a classic entry back into cars! Your channel is packed full of mandatory info, I need to almost relearn. It's been over 25 years. You know how it is 1, 2 next minute 4 kids, your life changes (I could easily say more ha, ha) Back then we had heaps of friends in a number of car clubs. I'm really looking forward to tinkering or full resto. Thanks again.

Always preferred the Spitfire to an Mgb, if only I had some spare cash and a garage that wasn't full of crap :)

This series has given me inspiration for my channel

I bought the spitfire in the eBay advert. Cracking car

[wangdangdoodie]

Snap up an MG F/TF while you can. Get the mod done and use sparingly. Future classic.

Heard classic cars (registered +40 years ago) are mot and tex exempt so here i am 😂

Even though I am American, I've always looked at English cars fondly. This is probably because I was driven around in an Austin-Healey 3000 Mk. III by a good friend of mine as a child. This is what got me into classic cars in the first place and now I'm proud to say that I own a Studebaker! Anyway, in terms of my favorite English car, I would have to go for the BMC "Farina saloons". Specifically the Wolseley 15/60. You can buy those in mint condition for under $10, 000 American all day long and they just look the business! Cheers to you for a great video!

I had a W109 (?), in American market 300SEL 4.5 sedan, 1972. A solid California garage queen that had a fuel line fire, under the warped bonnet. "I'll fix it up and sell it for a pile & return to Paradise, (Hawaii). I think I sold it for what I initially paid for the written off car. Had wrenched on an MGB before and the solid "Feel" of the hardware & materials was a revelation, even with regard to U.S. classics, DeSoto S-15, Mercury Park Lane &c. Fell in love with the cheap runabout stopgap, Toyota RT-43.

I know it's not sporty but I'd recommend for a good and cheap classic is a austin 1100/1300. I bought my 1973 1300 for £50 and love it, easy and cheap to repair and actually really practical for a classic. It's my daily driver and I love it. Get loads of attention and cannot stop anywhere without people approaching me and asking about it.

I managed to grab a 1965 anglia super for 2500 pounds 3 years later its about to be back on the road absolutely cannot wait

[patrickodonnell]

Excellent video. Learned a lot. Thank you 🚗.

[conorl]

Agree with everything that you said about the Spitfire. I own a 1500 which is the last generation which is very common for thrust washer issues. They're much better than the MGB in every way

[existesters]

Great video, thank you for sharing. I'm looking at a couple of classics at the moment as I'm looking to maybe start a wedding car hire business, so I'm looking at the Rolls Royce Silver Shadow Mk1 and a Jaguar 420. I'm also looking for an every day classic which has wood finished dashboard etc...can you recommend any under the 2k mark.

Cheers

Any classic car bought in the U.K. for under £3, 000. will in most cases need at least that amount spent on it by way of repairs.

It makes far more sense to buy a Japanese import for say £6, 000. Japan is a much drier country and salt is not put on the roads. Many cars are garaged unused for many years due to stringent ever increasing pollution laws which (unlike the U.K.) act retrospectively.

To put matters into perspective I have recently purchased an immaculate 1999 Vauxhall Vectra CDX estate, with only 11k miles, for £6, 000. (includes all outgoings).

Great video, I'm in love with the 504 coupe, great if you could make a video of that!

[harleymair]

You know me I love classics 😍😍 especially heralds

[bobnicholson]

Paul, a RR for under 2 grand, may i suggest you start your search in the scrap yards😂😱 (i know it was a joke)

[trucks_n_tractors_]
