I might be setting myself up for some bad luck soon.
I've seen a mk2 Cavalier estate for sale. I'm going to have a poke at it. I have no room for another car and can't really justify one. Seems logical to take a look at it.

Edit: Oh mate, sorry. I'd forgotten car chat is a sensitive subject for you.

Dunno, I've only seen it from the road, so far.
Figured it might be a handy car with a more modern diesel in it.

Seeing as you haven't made any provisions for a pension, it makes sense that you should invest as much of your available money as possible into old cars.

the tax relief and tax advantaged investment growth on old bangers are valuable parts of a retirement planning strategy.

what return are you expecting?

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Mon 3 Feb 2014, 12:27, Reply)

Serious answer.
Buy an 80s popular family car for 4-500 pounds. They are currently at the bottom of their depreciation cycle, the point just before adults gets nostalgic at the cars their dads used to have, get it fixed up and, if you're lucky, in five years time you sell it on for 3 grand.

You don't get into this hobby to make money, but it is possible to break even or make a small profit. If you get lucky with a car that gets a real following, you can actually make decent money off the sale.
