Pretty simple to work on and the ladder type chassis is easy to repair. all kinds of engines fit too to get rid of the old Ford Essex V6 anchor up front. Darn site better buy than other classics needing lots of welding. The plus, is that they are rare to see on the road.

Hi James. Hope your doing good. I loved the video. I couldn't stop laughing😂. I've never even heard of a Simitar. Is it a British motor car or Russian? Good video. Take care and stay safe.

yeah idk, seems pretty good to me. grab a pair of scissors and cut out all the spaghetti, get rid of that awful corsa column and just replace the dash with a piece of wood/metal as its just a single straight piece anyway. spray can paint job (or even roll-on paint) and its a 10ft car with a screaming V6.

You haven't done your research if you think £1000 qualifies for the cheapest classic car; just a quick search on the internet produced a list of 282 classic cars in running order under £1,000!
