You'd be surprised how little you can get a decently restored one for now.MGBGT, (not convertible, admittedly) for under 5 grand, and Road Tax exempt, too.

I guess a GT is acceptable,But it must have wire wheels and chrome bumpers. Sod the pedestrians, it looks so good.

For a year,I did own a 1965 Triumph Herald 1200 in RAF blue. Needed a shed-load of work (new chassis was the main thing, but easy enough on a Triumph), but the engine was spotless and ran almost silently. I did a bit of work on it and was looking at learning to drive, but had to sell it when Imoved to Switzerland.

A vintage year ;-)I love Heralds, too. Really fun cars. A friend at school had a black Vitesse - my god that car could shift!
