As per the title I’m currently toying with the idea of adding an older car to my garage. I’ve totally fallen in love with the Bentley Blowers but funds do not stretch to that far.

Therefore I’m thinking that one of the more common cars between the £35k-95k price point would satisfy the urge.

Any owners on here with cars of that vintage that could provide words of wisdom?

Thanks for incredibly detailed reply. I have just come back from viewing one and have to say rather blown away by it. In excellent condition for the age and with a few bits of bodywork requiring work - one wing has cracked paint and a couple of small blisters appearing.

I’m sorely tempted by it but need to consider the logistics of making space for her (my very understanding wife has said no to extracars until I sell some, so need to consider what I would swap out).

I’ll definitely share some photos once I’ve made a decision.

Just had a thought regarding fueling and the potential damage by E10 unleaded - what implications are there and are there any additives to resolve any issues?

So the car I went to see ended up selling for £56k - I know this because I was pipped at the post and missed out on it by a matter of minutes. It is now up for £110k with a company mentioned above - reg AXY 216. That’s one hell of a mark up!
