(car, or any other classic vehicle)

I never say never, but I've no plans to buy anything else anytime soon, is anyone here actively on the look-out for something new?

I'm not planning on buying anything but a friend has just told me he doesn't think he'll ever be able to get his Alfa Junior finished....

far from buying - I may have to sell some of mine. Landord for this place has gone bust so am looking to move, but finding space for 3 cars and a trailer in the City centre is proving difficult Sad

Would like a Marina Mumford convertible but would keep my estate.
Mumfords are very hard to come by. That would be my next purchase.

My next purchase is going to be very expensive.

A tankful of diesel for my Shogun. I should save money and travel everywhere by taxi.

Not really wanting or needing another car.
But - I would fancy to own an older car in a few years time. Something from around WW2. Coachbuilt small production UK, if available at an affordable price... first choice would be an AC 2 Litre


or maybe an Armstrong Siddeley Whitley


or Alvis TA14 (Jasons car!)

I plan to sell the Chevy this year and currently I'm keen to find a nice Wolseley Hornet / Riley Elf (Mini type) or a Sunbeam Alpine Series V GT.

The key for me for my next car is having had one classic where getting spares was a wait & hope someone remanufacturers the part required, right up to the Chevy where everything and I mean absolutely everything is only a telephone call and credit card away, so its replacement should have a reasonable level of sources for the majority of the parts.

Be careful what you wish for ! just about any parts for the MGA are available, but many are made in the far east and frankly just don't fit Confused from windscreen brackets, grills, chassis extensions, petrol tanks, bonnet catches, door capping's, even some brake components! I could go on.

I was missing a load of bits from my MGA ,and would have been better off, and saved a load of workshop time, waiting to source original used bits rather than mess about re-working the repro stuff Mad

I fancy a Roller. I like quiet cars and want to find out if they are quieter than my P5b. If I get one I'll know once and for all,but regardless the P5b will be staying,it would be like selling my granny.(my parents mum,not a big ford)

Good plan and make it a MKVI or R Type because they are the nicest to drive and work on, still different from any other car, but possible the company's best after the Ghost.

Despite having bought my keeper P5B Coupe three weeks ago I still hanker after a '60s Jag saloon, a Radford Mini Cooper or a Jensen Interceptor... I doubt I'll ever have either though for lots of reasons, and already having two classics is probably enough right now! Doesn't stop me looking on ebay or carandclassic.com every day either...
