I keep thinking now might be the time to buy one of these. Prices aren’t going to get any lower. And they are on the cusp of the ‘modern’ classic bracket. And surely will be the the next ‘B’.

I’m not a novice to F’s. I had a 1.8i back in 1998. My Dad also had from new in 1997 a VVC one. Which I also had for a while after selling my 1.8i. Then a number of years later my brother had another VVC one.

However I freely concede this was all a good number of years ago now.

But I’ve never even sat in TF. Visually I think I prefer the original F. The hydragas suspension also has an appeal. But I don’t know how easy it is to maintain these days.

Anyone owned/driven both?

The K-Series doesn’t phase me. We’ve had loads of them over the years (brother still has a 200BRM). Anything else to watch for on these that might not have been an issue 20 years ago?
