Unless you can do most the work yourself these old cars just aren't worth it.
What is really important to me is finding a trustworthy garage with people who have the skills and knowledge to do a proper job and take a pride in their work. I have had my 2wd Sapphire for nearly 20 years and have always used Richard and Malcolm at Tremona Garage in Southampton to do the work on it and they have never let me down. There are good people out there but unfortunately also others who are only interested in getting as much money out of you as possible and not giving a fuck about the standard of work they carry out.
Choose your garage wisely!
