A friend of mine has come up with the idea of going on a touring/camping/driving holiday this summer – obviously you want a suitable car if you’re going to do that, and he already has one – a 1972 Hillman Avenger 1600. (which he has up to now also been using for autotests and navigational scatter rallies).
I wouldn’t fancy taking a boring, modern car, and my 2nd car (1990 205 xs) is stage rally prepared, with full cage, seats, harnesses, extinguisher, hard as nails suspension etc, and at 60mph in 5th sits at about 3,000 rpm…………..
So, if you had the choice, what would you go for? Nova/205 seems obvious, if a little bit new/conservative, and I wouldn’t want to spend very much money on anything. £2k tops.
I’m thinking maybe something that is reasonable money now but will appreciate in value.
Any ideas?
