V8 Shopping

[JakeWilson]

Evening folks,

Finally I am in a position to buy a V8 in terms of finance and space, and there aren't many better places to seek specific V8 advice than here.

I'm looking to spend a maximum of 6k, ideally facelift, but not silver or grey. (Prepares for flack!)

I'm not averse to a project vehicle either, obviously if the price is right.

Any pointers, or heads up would be most appreciated.

Cheers gents,

Jake

You looking for a ZT or R75 flavour?

Though you won't get a R75 V8 Tourer for £6k

Good position to be in Jake

Thanks for the welcoming responses gents!

I've not got my mind set up either way in terms of 75/ZT. I think it's very much a case of 'when the right car comes along' :-)

With regards a 75 V8 tourer, I do have some extra funds which I could justify using for one of those alone, but would ideally like to keep this reserve, as a reserve!

It's Auto or Manual.
Soft or Hard suspension.

Easy

I know two great early cars

a ZTT260se pre facelift (so very rare) in XPG
a ZT260SE pre facelift in Mirage

both I would have without a second thought if I was looking

Hi Jake,

Good luck with your search and welcome to V8 land.

I have purchased something from you in the past, can't recal what it was now. Be good to catchup with you at a V8 meet when you find the right car.

I've been to look at two so far, neither sadly local, the search continues.
