Tell me you are joking please :) £9K? Is it ultra low mileage with full Porsche main dealer history or something? It'll do no more to the gallon than the Merc, probably less as the technology is a LOT older.

 

FULL PSH

 

I know its a lot of money, would be looking to negociate this down somewhat, it comes with a full 12 month warranty

 

I am feeling less excited now I have to say !! :(

IF you can find a really nice one have you considered a Renault Alpine GTA or later? SO light, lovely to drive, and even the turbo models are economical. I had a N/A GTA and an A610 (late turbo). Both were brilliant drivers cars. Electrics were a bit iffy (French) but the cars as a whole were infinitely nicer to drive than 911's.

 

How about a Venturi?

Chris, I have been looking through the classic car mags for weeks, I like many of the old Ferrari's, E-type Jags, 456 Ferrari's but having an Auto limits the choice somewhat

 

This will not be a daily driver, it will be a toy and I am done with Supras/skylines, had too many

 

Is the 3500 Maserati or 456 Ferrari a no no ?

I think you'd find the Maseratis a nightmare, with huge running costs. No experience of any Ferraris bar 246 Dinos, 330GT / GTC's and 360 Modenas, well out of my road car running costs price range :)

This automatic thing is a bit restrictive. Can she not use a manual? Physical problem or a woman's thing, "Can't possibly drive a manual...." :)

 

She passed an Auto only driving test :rolleyes:

 

I am happy to get her a runaround and I get a manual , you just did not hear that from me ;) :D

 

I test drove an Esprit some years ago, I hear horror stories about the reliability, I also feel they have not aged that well, not a true classic ?

I dont think they do an auto TVR either :p

 

What about something like a new shape mustang? providing she's ok with a left hooker (you get used to them very quickly)

 

You'd get a nice one for 25 large.

 

Auto is not the be all and end all but it is always handy if her indoors can drive you home from the pub ;)

 

I will need to get her a car also if I get a manual

Hows about an NSX? You should be able to get a good one for the money, and there's plenty of Autos around. Just watch for those suspension bushes!

 

Otherwise, i'd be thinking Aston DB7 (I could live with the running costs for the looks alone), Jag XK, Volkswagen Corrado VR6 Storm (You could get a very nice low mileage one for £6-7k).

As a wildcard, i'd maybe look at a Mazda Eunos Cosmo, although I hear they're rather thirsty (due to the 3 rotor 20B rotary engine)
