sheep Posted August 31, 2007 Posted August 31, 2007 I am thinking about selling my wagon and getting a classic but having never owned one i am unsure of what things to look out for. I am looking to spend about seven grand. The car itself will be purely for weekend use as i will get a cheap run around to use for going to work. I have been looking on pistonheads and autotrader to get a few ideas but there are so many different versions. I need some tips on what to look out for and which models are the most reliable. I would be quite happy with an import and dont mind the close gear ratios that come with some models as it wont be going on any long motorway runs.
