I want to buy an original P38 with as good/tidy/clean interior, with as low miles as possible which is more important than exterior colour. Im not fussed about Petrol or Diesel in such an old car as I'm not going to be doing big miles in it but is there a consensus to which is the more sensible to buy these days? Should I be looking to buy on condition and not be fussed if its an SE model or hold out for the HSE spec?

I have acquired an Audi TT 225 BHP 80k miles just serviced via a loan gone wrong to a brother which id like to part x as i have no use of it so Im looking at trade cars.

I like the look of the P38 and I'm only a fan of the last version L322. Really I'm only getting one as I have this TT to swap which is of no use to me so looking at cars worth a bit more and the P38 appeals.

So I was considering the black car at Stirlings but its mega money for a P38 and I'm being told it has 4 or 5 stamps in the book. Did these cars have 2 year service intervals? I have been told about a Gold car, its much cheaper yet a 97 model.

Is it feasible to remove LPG from a car that's been converted?

D2T what a good buy!!! I didn't realise the R started so early and that's why I discounted it when you said.
