Having decided to sell the scoob (MY97 STi3 Wagon) and replace with something cheap (ie sub £2k) to get from A to B, my mind has wandered from hot hatch to V12 XJS .

Today though, I have picked up a lovely 1960's coupe, wire wheels, 3 litre straight six under the bonnet and a woofly soundtrack.

Can you guess what it is?

Volvo?

For under 2k it has to be an MGC

Spot on.

But as with all these things, the budget got stretched northwards a bit.

Just got to liberate some more BHP and make it go round corners now

Hahaha, I just love optimism

Wouldn't you have been better off with a B V8? The C was the last of the "straight line specials"

I'd be wanting to work on the breaks as much as the horses, can you fit those with brembos'?

A V8 would have been nice, but they are proper money for a tidy one.

As for the brakes, I'm going to have a chat with a guy I know who used to race an MGC, he must know how to slow the things down. I'm now on the lookout for a good set of minilite wheels for it, I'm sure there is space behind them to squeeze some decent 4 pot calipers.

Piccys to follow...
