So I've just got my Defender back from the body shop, and very lovely it is, however I no longer need it as I no longer live in an area that floods every three minutes.
I partly don't want to sell because they're only going up in value, but at the same time I can't have it just sat there doing nothing, the truck is lovely and I stand to profit greatly from it
90 County
Galvanised chassis
Polybush
Fancy shocks and upgraded springs (no lift though)
Wading kit
Safari Snorkel
Freshly painted
All the bolt extras powder coated
87k miles on clock
Big tyres

Hoping to get around £14k for it, and well I have a few options
Use money to pay off credit card and loan (had to use it for business) which would leave me with about 4k
Or spend 10k and use the 4k on credit card.

Option 1 leaves me with 4k for something fun but classic which will be
Restore my old VW to a certain degree
Mk1 Golf GTi in Mars red completely standard
  • something else*
Option 2 is unknown really, got so many ideas for this but want something that will appreciate
TVR Chim
840ci
Lancia Delta (I know proper bottom end of market one)
Jensen Interceptor, so I've been looking and it is possible, it would need work obviously but at the same time I have an Interceptor
M5, as much as I love them is out, I can't have two E39's on the road and I hate saloons, so will end up hating it because it's a saloon
V8 conversion into my old E34 Tourer possibly?

Still a while away from this, but just can't decide

If you are like me, you won't be completely happy with any of your choices, because you will simply keep looking once you have purchased something and torture yourself with thoughts of "Oh, I could have had that instead..."

Use the 10k to buy two of something and lessen the pain biggrin
