moment. Call if interested ext :3170

| I'm given to understand that slot racing cars are having a boom
period at the moment.
I would however warn against anything you could drive araound in
and particularly 'classic' cars that have achieved high prices.
You price cynic thinks that the slump that's about to hit these
cars will be as great as the boom that inflated them - ie. huge.

Have you thought about a BMW M3? Mine went up in value �2,500 in 4
months. It would be cheaper to maintain and run than an E-type.

Only goes up in value if you get to keep it, eh Colin ;-)

| >>It would be cheaper to maintain and run than an E-type.
Maintainance bills for my E-type for the last 3 years have been about #400
and running costs - tax is usual, insurance is #150 pa fully comp. petrol?
Who cares with a car like that! I get 18 mpg on a run anyway.

Must be just about ready for a service by now :-)

| 1020.7 | | TASTY::JEFFERY | Is "Bones" the real McCoy ?? | Fri Apr 13 1990 15:20 | 1 |
| I thought the best car for steady apprecation was the Morris Minor?

| Actually the basenote specifically states 'no classic cars',
doesn't want to get hands dirty.
Bit of a stiff challenge this one.

| 1020.9 | spits fits | RUTILE::PRICE | | Thu Apr 26 1990 16:49 | 8 |
| consider one of the later triumph spitfire 1500's;
Cheap to run and maintain,currently increasing in value at 15% a
year.....cheap open top motoring..

| 1020.10 | Try a VW conv. | SHAPES::STREATFIELDC | VW Beetle.. IOSG::AIR_COOLED | Thu Apr 26 1990 17:31 | 6 |
| How about a late Beetle convertable, the main VW dealers will still
service them, in fact the basingstoke one was selling 2 of them, and
they still made them in the late 70's so they will not be as "basic" as
the standard earlier beetles, they also do not loose their value, if
well kept, they will gain !
