Poss getting a new project
Marlon - 17/8/09 at 06:24 PM

Hey all.
Since finishing the indy a couple of years back i'm starting to get a bit bored and am looking at starting somthing new. To finance this venture i'm selling my impreza so whatever i do has to be roadworthy for commuting in and only worked on at weekends and holidays. I really want some sort of classic and am thinking maybe a capri (Idealy want a mini van but not in budget at minute). So have any of you got any tips as to what to look for or even other suggestions of cars. Am going to bank some of the proceeds of scooby so budget for purchace is up to £1500. Open to any ideas.

many thanks.

I went for a Ginetta G31 for a mix of classic and kit with practicality and I have been really pleased with it and with Ginetta getting plenty of exposure recently its given the less loved models like the G26,28,30 and 31 some added credibility.

Well worth a look but G31's which are the best of the wedge style bunch in my opinion are a bit thin on the ground.

I bought a tvr s1 that was halfway through a rebuild for similar money, has the same engine and running gear as the capri 2.8i just a bit more power and lighter! :0
