£500 gamble worked for me, but I’m crazy, about my P38. I was only one used it for years so I’d already put it through its paces I couldn’t have done it without LandyZone
Aesthetics is big price factor, and gizmos. I don’t mind the battle scars and no Bluetooth or leather on mine. The heated seats don’t work although they are there, left window won’t stay set, AC works but only just

Nothing that really matters you just need it to run properly and enjoy it

That's pretty much where I am now with mine. Once I get the EAS sorted I'll start looking at other stuff.

Bought mine without an MOT for a daily. First thing I did was put the air springs in the bin and scrape first MOT. Does not make you popular on here especially when Q2 is - can I fit 32” tyres on it now

I’ve uprated electrics & charging, cooling system, engine, done rear chassis/shocks, exhaust, drag link, drivetrain, multitude of little bits and bobs. Headlining

Still more on the lists, that’s the way it works with these

I was thinking the same... if the OP has the patience and can be bothered to go through it.... it might be a good buy ....would be good to get diagnostics on it now, before purchase ... to see what thry show up....

Yes but I don't have any diagnostics.
If I did I would check it out.

I doubt you will let me. And it’s day glow/
Ford Cortina orange monsieur

I neither sought council nor expect sympathy on that one
Half of it was touch up pens for £1

Also 2x large cans of vht lacquer, can of blue, can of silver vht, 3x cans of black stone chip, jar of rust treatment, 4 cans of brake/clutch cleaner, probably few I forgot.

Most important - plus gas!

Only joking.
If Grrrs DT ever makes it this far I will reward him with a large mix grill with a pint (cheaper on the deal)

Even if the car is back on the road the chance of a day off with no jobs is slim, 2 days off unheard of.

Tempting! Brian would be up for that. You'd have to import a ton more cider though.
