I'm looking for advice on getting a classic car for everyday use. The factors are these: I only drive about 3-4000 miles a year I don't work so running costs (ie Tax and Insurance are important) I can do all my own servicing and reasonable major repairs (having had an MG Midget) Must be able to carry dogs.
Based on these parameters I am looking at spending up to £6k on a GOOD semi/fully restored Morris Traveller. My question is, given good care and attention, (ie waxoiling chassis every year and patching up the underseal etc etc) is it reasonable to expect a semi/fully restored Traveller to last another 20 years?
