Great spot Darren! not bad value at 6 biggies either tho a little to modern for my current taste driving

I shall have to make sure I pop into those ad's a little more often if these are the sort of cars that crop up.

Hmmmm, I must be losing it!! The more I look at that car the more I like it.

What's the running costs of something like that?

morris 8's are ideal 'starter' vintage cars, spares are relatively plentiful, its got modern conveniences like synchromesh on at least a couple of the gears, brakes are hydraulic, and whilst not brilliant, don't require a calendar to anticipate braking, its even got electric wipers, which are far better than the old vacuum type! it'll pootle along quite nicely in traffic, and will be quite useable every day.... so why not treat yourself for the summer!
