JohnD Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Good choice, Lucas! I can't help.you, I'm using mine, but suggestbyou get along to your local area group meeting, CT, or TSSC. They will know of local opportunities. Usually at a pub, but summer is coming and they will.meet outside! If you can't achieve your ambition, look at the TSSC's Youth Loan Sceme, for when you do get your licence.

Amy Wade Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 It's great to see youngsters taking an interest in classic cars. Hopefully you'll find a suitable project car. The clubs are here to help, we all share an interest in keeping the cars running & there's a wealth of knowledge you can tap into. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Girling Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 It depends where you live, but I've found that ebay is a reasonable place to look, but I'd certainly not bid without having seen the car. If I was in the market for a project spitfire I'd be looking at https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166706064301 in Basildon (Essex). 10 day auction, 5 days left, £400, 7 bidders, reserve not met. Looks like a fair amount of work but worh rescuing. If the reserve is not met it's maybe time to barter. I bought an alfa romeo that way (agreeing a 'buy it now' price to keep it on ebay) after meeting the seller after the auction ended. At your age, you are certainly likely to find a sympathetic seller! Good luck, and please let us know what you buy and keep us informed of your progress. Lots of helpful experts on this forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
