I fancy a classic

[greendiff]

As it says, I fancy getting a classic/

Soft top preferred, and on a budget.

As to what, I don't yet know.

Can I be pointed out to a good place to research and decide what I want, and where is a good place to source the ideal car?

Era- up to about 1980, anything after that is to 'modern' for me.

Already own an '84 Landrover so am handy with the spanners.

This will be a toy/project, but i don't want a basket case, just a useable fun car with some tinkering.

Heralds, Sptfires, Midgets, that is the sort of thing im after.

But is this doable with a budget of just a couple of grand?

not feeling the kitcar - if i was to get a kit, id want to build it up myself.

good sources for finding classics for sale, apart from car and classic/ebay?

this is not something im going to rush into, im taking my time to research and find out what i want.

not a huge fan of the scimitar - too plasticy/modern. i want leather/wood old skool
