    surely you should be thinking about one of these (or similar)

    lo-cost.

    buy a donor car, rape it and knock up something that is properly yours for about 5-6k….

    This topic has me looking at MGBs and spitfire again. My mrs won’t like you guys today! The other plus side to restpring a beetle is that you should know how to fix it when it brakes down when going to Run to the Sun!

    Helped my old man with a triumph GT6

    Mmmmm. I’d love one of them. Or an Elan+2, but that’s a bit out of my price range.

    Alpin – spill the beans, my Dads retiring soon, wouldn’t like to see him idle 😀

    On the kit car idea, Hora’s selling a 1.7 puma, which would provide the big bits for a Sylva J15 (based on the lotus 11 principle that you take a lotus 7 and stick abody on it it goes faster, its a lotus 7 look-a-like with a lotus 11 look-a-like body on it).
