Q's: The best place to buy a MkI OR Where did you get yours?
So I am thinking of buying myself the car that I have wanted since about the age of 7

Anway answers on a postcard, all feedback is welcome, would like to know what the general concensus is on where to buy and from who etc?
Cheers

You get everything on there, enthusiasts, people who
have had them from new, traders the lot……….
On here, or "similar" sites you only really get enthusiasts, people
with a bit more knowledge….. so you get a better car, but pay
more……. obviously…….
At the end of the day, when you see "the" car, you will know and
will buy it, if in doubt leave it out………….
Best of luck with the search…….

Most cars on ebay are in england so it would be a pain for you to have to travel, only to be dissapointed, and you'd more likely say yes to something you wouldn't if it was 5 miles from your house.
I travelled 400 miles and saw a heap…but convinced myself I would clean it up nice….I'm real glad my dad was there!!
Try and find a local classic car club? Or plan to go see 3 or 4 and come over for a weekend of car shopping?

I hear ya mate, I always travel to the UK for my cars (having bought the last 4 there). Like you say I will need to keep my head on my shoulders if I do see something I like. I have family over in the UK anyway so I would look to make a bit of a jolly up out of it and maybe view a few at the same time.
Will let you know if I see something of interest and will give you a heads-up.
Now that I think of it have a look at these:

Any thoughts?
Cheers Mate.

Obviously it depends on whether you are looking for something modified or not, out of those 3 although the first one has had lots done to it, i'd be tempted on the last one, looks from my limited knowledge fairly original, not sure if that price is a bit high though , good luck :-)

I got lucky with mine on the bay - hard to say till you see it up close in person and suss out the seller, that can be as important as anything
Good luck with it
