ManwithSupra Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hi All, My Wife, myself and a few friends are doing an 80's Europe Cheap banger challenge driving from Dover to Italy in the summertime So I am after a car for around the £100-£200 mark with an MOT (tall order i know - but thats part of the challenge) and ideally the car should be carburettor based (easier to fix) There are two rules... The car has to be from the 80's. And the Max total budget for each car is £250 which is to include the purchase of the car and some "spares". So if you have anything between now and summertime please let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 A Metro would probably fit the bill. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1982-AUSTIN-MINI-METRO-L-RED-/280611735191?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4155c34697 or a 205 maybe? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1990-PEUGEOT-205-GR-BEIGE-/320636365483?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4aa76aaaab Also, this site is fantastic for bargains: http://www.local.thesun.co.uk/ Probably worth a look on Gumtree too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob wild Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 If it was me I'd go for something like this:- http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201051375850967/sort/priceasc/usedcars/price-to/500/maximum-age/over_10_years_old/postcode/pr14he/radius/1500/page/14?logcode=p Its low mileage, very reliable, an auto so would be good for cruising and it has a tow bar so you could get loads of gear in trailer if you wanted too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2314205.htm As an idea?? It is a ford, will never make it through the MOT unless it pretty much gets reshelled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
