Re: Newbie advice sought on car purchase

All sound advice from the chaps above. Your budget is realistic for a good car. Like I said, try & find a member who is local to you & they can point out the specifics to look for & of course post a link to any that takes your fancy & you will get advised on whether it looks genuine ...

Re: Newbie advice sought on car purchase

Anything is possible, just depends on your budget & by that I mean realistic budget. For a fully restored to original spec, Genuine 3.0S from a respected dealer you can pay up to 25K so you are in the same ball park as a top notch 280 Brooklands. Depending on who does the restoration & to wh...

Re: Looking for someone to restore my.2.8I in Derbyshire.

Hi, Welcome to the forum! :welcome: I can suggest some people who may be able to do the work, but obviously it's up to you to contact them and research the quality of their work etc. before committing to having your car restored or repaired with them. The closest to you that I know of are Martin (C...

It is indeed a beautiful car & the owner is a genuine bloke too, if you want one of the best out there, this really is one of them ;)

Re: 3.0s. On eBay

I thought it only fair to e-mail the dealer as they seem a genuine company, with the concerns raised so that they may have some redress with the seller. Sent him a few photo's & a link to the Black one on auto trader, strangely they both came from the same sale & the seller being a film comp...

Re: 3.0s. On eBay

It is a really nice looking car & probably worth a good few £££ Have a look on at the photo's showing inside the boot, it has an interior boot light, 3.0 S's didn't have a boot light. Have a look at the photo's under the bonnet, there are no strengthening sections in the corners or additional pl...

Re: 3.0s. On eBay

Don't want to pee on anyone's parade but its not an original 3.0 S & I don't think its even be a 3.0 Shell.

Looks a nice car but caveat emptor & all that

Re: Car SOS New Series

I found myself in Vegas for a long weekend last April, as me & my mate were checking out of the hotel to fly home, I read the blurb on a sign next to an extremely nice customized 60's / 70's saloon I had passed many times on the edge of the Casino & realized it was done by counts customs, co...

Re: Car SOS New Series

It was good to see the boys back with a new series ;) Don't think its giving anything away to say that this really was a biggy, it should have been scrapped. Interesting to see the credits at the end showing snippets of future cars, they seem to be going up market in a few of the cars they are going...

Re: A sensitive topic... (warning, huge post inside)

Think you have just said it yourself mate, this will allow you to do stuff you could have previously only dreamt of, which is exactly what the lady would want you to do ;) As has already been said, don't over complicate stuff, the lady knows of your troubles & wouldn't have wanted to add to them...
