£3500 budget car for 2013 Le Mans
Discussion
Hi all,
4 of us are planning on going to Le Mans next year and camping with team langoustine.
I was planning of buying a barge/shed/camper/dayvan a few months before and then selling it when I get back.
I have a £3500 budget and my current shortlist is:
P38 Range Rover
Jag XJR
BMW 7 series
Chevrolet Astro day van
Any other suggestions?

We got our sub £500 Clios to the TL site this year and they've now been sold on quite easily! I obviously think your budget is way too high for a challenge....
Why not go for a big estate like a Volvo 960/Ford Scorpio with the the largest motor you can find, cheap as chips, leather and loads of space for everything plus zero street cred to boot! Gendarmerie won't give you a second glance.
Not sure what we'll end up with this coming year but suspect they'll be quicker than the Clios.

They did the V8 in both 4 and 5 door versions and the rover versions as well, there is a MG v8 estate on autotrader at £7k but I have seen several mg and rover v8's at well beow £3.5k

You know the mG ZTT is not a v8? And you wont get a v8 version of the ZT for that sort of money, maybe double that.
A few years back we did a cheaper version of this, and I ended up getting an old 7 Series (E32 735). Original budget crept up from the original 500 quid, and I ended up spending 1,800.
The theory was that I'd buy something cheap, use it for Le Mans and then sell it. Well, suffice to say that didn't work out... I've still got the car !
The moral of this story is to be careful - wafting along in a big comfy barge is surprisingly addictive !!

How about a classic?

Or a bit of luxury? http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/use...
or in true PH style http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/use... although I don't know how much kit it could carry.
If you can stretch the budget this would be amazing although I reckon you may want to keep it
