Sounds like a good idea.
Oooh, TR5...
Bit long since Bergerac was last repeated.
Mmmm.
If it comes with a shoe-horn (or one for the other foot), where do I book?
Yep, I'll go with those.

Thinking S1.5, want synchro.
Nor me, but nicely wafty
yeah, probably, but I do want some sort of crowd!
I know.. :-)
There is in the south, but I'm up North!.
Too likely to get thrashed. Caterhams can take it, MX5s can, Boxters are pretty reliable. Elises are more likely to be killed.
Yeah, that'd be "stage two".. if it kicks off.
Heh..

Hence explicitly 4.2. Did the s1.5 have the faired-in lights?
Customers that cost you money and down-time are not the customers you want.
'course - you're between the Lake District and North Wales, right? Marketing, dear boy, marketing...
Still - you wanna bet?
OK, OK, a couple of days mid-week would be acceptable. Less traffic in the nicer places to take it, too.

the TR5 is getting quite a few votes 'ere...
Yeah, but less likely to go out on hire.. a "stage 2" car.

oh, and a Delorean, and a Volvo 242 coupe.
Will you give me a job?

I s'pose if you're looking at FHC vs Roadster - but compare apples with apples - FHC XK vs FHC E... I'd have the XK.

You're as bad as Richard. Oh, and they were 262s not 242s...
what /ever/
I know someone selling a '76 Jensen Interceptor...
Douglas
I would at least prefer a 780 over a 262.
Richard
Heh, maybe...

Hmm, mebbe you're right...
definately an E for the drophead though.
Yes. This should be your first buy.
No. No. No.
Yeah, but what about a green '67 GT fastback? And while you're at it might as well get the '68 Dodge Charger R/T to go with it.
Nice, but wouldn't be my first choice that's for sure.
Maybe.
Nah.
Would it come with a stick on tache and a Hawaiian shirt?
The 550 please.
I'd go for the MG over this.
No.
Yes. Not a first choice though. How about an MG RV8?
Yes.
No. I wouldn't bother getting one, at least not to start with anyway.
Here's a few other suggestions:-
'62-'64 Lincoln Continental. Buy a white one and then you can hire it for weddings. Black would be cooler and I suppose it'd be something different as opposed to Lincoln Towncar limos. (And yes I do realise it's not exactly car hire)
AC Cobra or a decent replica
Rover P5B Coupé
Lotus Cortina
TVR Cerbera or Tuscan.
Austin Healey 3000
2005 Ford Mustang'67 Ford Mustang GT Fastback
'68 Dodge Charger R/T
Triumph TR5
Amongst others, I've always wanted a Skoda Estelle 130LSE. Has to be early one, with the spoiler type front bumper and round lights though.
Don't see many around nowadays, and I think they've gone past my budget (100 quid tops, with T&T) and started getting collectable :(
Exactly, and a decent FHC is going to cost about the same as a shed of a convertible in each case. More cars for the same outlay and they'd rent in the winter too.
