Hi and welcome
Prices do vary quite a bit but £7k asking from a dealer is not unreasonable,but you may be able to get a nice one privately for nearer £5k if you look around.
You could look through the old adverts on cars for sale on here to get an idea of prices or try pistonheads,autotrader,Ebay etc.
They really are cars with character and soul,a car that you want to drive even if you don't have anywhere you need to go.
I'm sure the garage will be more than willing to give you a test drive.
For an insurance quote try Peter Best.They can be very cheap if you have it as a second car on one of their Classic Car Policies especially if it's garaged overnight and limited mileage.
Even if it's your everyday car they can be very reasonable.
Don't stretch your finances too far when buying the car as you might not have enough left to enjoy driving it;fuel consumption is usually around 18 -22 mpg,maybe 25+mpg on a run.
Enjoy your search and let us know how you get on
Yes, yes you should.
Lol! Well, it had to be said asking that on the forum about them But can't add much to what the other guys have said already, just make sure you can afford the running costs i.e. petrol and insurance really. Give Adrian Flux a try, mines on the modified policy and is competitive. Waiting till 30 to get a quote from Peter Best on a classic policy, so sitting tight at the moment lol!

I'm ok on running costs and insurance because it will be our second car, for the TF it only goes out on dry days and I covered about 1000 miles in it since last July. It's been Autoglym cleaned and polished and stored in my garage waiting for the dry sunny days. The TF is solar red with tan and black interior and is the better 160bhp version. its covered just 23k miles from new with service history. Taxed to Sept mot to June. Body work is excellent and alloys are good, although I was going to get them refurbished. I also have a new badge waiting to be fitted. It's top class. Open to offers......
Oh and I live near Stansted Airport.
Nice one. There are a few of us with F/TFs here
WELCOME
