Classic for under £10K

[NewcastleFalcon]

Is it possible to get a nice tax-exempt historic vehicle (pre 1st January 1974 if my googling is up to scratch) for under £10,000?

Hopefully not a box of bits or a barn-find wreck but something which starts and goes and has an M.O.T.

Bearing in mind the fact that i spotted one of these today,

the Rover P5 may be an example (£8,450 as of today)



Can you find some other interesting examples under £10,000 and pre 1974? Could even be French is you like,

Pre facelift Silver Shadow would be my pick. Ideally a '67 with hydraulic front struts.

Another advantage of the Traction Avant above would be that cars or motorbikes built before 1960 are also M.O.T. exempt.

Oops sorry - just noticed that that one is not tax exempt - but it will be next year or so.

Well, I for one am quite happy to see the "tax-exempt" pedantic condition blown out the water to get nice examples of affordable classics like this in the thread



very nice!

Friend of mine who is a good e-bay watcher for interesting stuff has just sent me this, North Shields as well!

Doesn't quite meet the full specification for the thread being 10 years away from Tax exempt status in the UK, but its well under the £10k, its French, its not grey and dare I say it an interesting head-turner if nothing else.

This is easier than I thought, here's a Hillman Minx with 35,000 miles on the clock for £2,995

I presume that's what they will pay someone to take it.

I'd be really keen on a Volvo Amazon. Lots of choice with 10k, could be very fussy.

I think Id have an estate like this
But the saloon looks nice too here

[addo]

Quite a few repowered ones getting about, too.

Where to look? There's the usual suspects of e-bay and gumtree but also

carandclassic.co.uk like the red Volvo above

I also like to have a paddle around Leboncoin

Any other useful sites for searching for an interesting affordable classic?

just to keep it visual here's one from the Leboncoin search between 4500 and 12000 euros, for 1974 and before vehicles-there's hundreds on the list

Listed at 7500 euros
