    What is a good 1st classic car to buy?

    I have been mulling over buying a classic car to tinker with etc.
    I am looking to get a convertible and have been looking at the mg roadsters
    Does anyone have experience of these or are their better suggestions?

    I will be selling an 2000 M5 shortly to make space for it. The M5 has been garaged for 6 years and has a new engine in it.
    took it out and washed it and it started 1st time.

    Suggestions for a nice classic

      I had an MGB Roadster for a while, red with chrome bumpers and wire wheels.
      They are cheap on parts and very easy to work on. If I get another I will make sure it has overdrive!

                    What was it like to drive?
                    Was it cramped. I'm a 6ft plus so wondered if I was too big for it?
                    I really do fancy one of these.

                      Then, has to be one off this two! Maybe bit out of your price range! [QUOTE=Gixxer;1045181]A Mk1 Escort Mexico or an RS2000[/QUOTE]

                        £6k would get a tidy late nineties Jag XK convertible.

                          I second a triumph stag cheap parts (rimmer bros have great stock) can be bought really cheaply, easy to work on, great sounding 3ltr v8 engine, would say easily a better first buy than a mk1 mexico or rs2000 price wise and repair cost wise, doubt you would get anything ford classic under £6k..

                            If the budget is around 6k, spend wisely.
                            If not, you need to be handy with a welding torch.

                              if yer over 6 foot a MGB will be too cramped!

                              Youd be best looking at a early Escort (upto Mk4), Opel Manta, Vauxhall Viva, Cavalier convertible something like that
