The 3Litre had self levelling suspension as well as the hydrolastic Chris, it worked well but tended to be a bit leaky. had to frequently tighten the covers on the units.

Re: Classic for under £10K
Well I had my eye on the Anglia Auction and can report that the Austin 3.0l made £2000 provisional, my favoured Jaguar XJ40 made £1800 - I could have afforded that but waited for the Nissan Pao which commanded £4100 - too much for me!! So the MX3 lives on!! Anyone want to buy a bike? 

I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!

Re: Classic for under £10K
I'll be giving the auction a scan if its still on youtube. I liked that Nissan too. There was a white caravelle, "starts and runs but needs some recommisioning". Interested to see what that went for. I am expecting that there are still quite a few buyers out their who are willing to pay too much for such things.mickthemaverick wrote: 23 Aug 2020, 16:08 Well I had my eye on the Anglia Auction and can report that the Austin 3.0l made £2000 provisional, my favoured Jaguar XJ40 made £1800 - I could have afforded that but waited for the Nissan Pao which commanded £4100 - too much for me!!

Re: Classic for under £10K
Anglia Car Auctions are doing a decent job of presenting and auctioning their vehicles. Live streaming on youtube and facebook, videos of the vehicles. I reckon the way they are selling now is far better than your normal crammed auction hall filled with exhaust fumes.

Now if I had started a thread "Classics under £1000" would you have expected these to appear?

An X1/9 for beer money
It must have been a proper basket-case? They're quite iconic
The others I can understand going for such a low price... About as desirable as toothache except perhaps the Honda...

Re: Classic for under £10K
Well, in an unexpected co-incidence, today a new vehicle has appeared in Northumberland, courtesy of a chap I know who just buys interesting cars, runs them for a short period of time and gets something else. He's bought one from deepest Crewe trading-in the green Rover 95 P4 which he has had for a couple of months.
and his latest purchase? First Registered January 1989, it goes from 0-62 7 seconds, top speed of around 140, and 6750cc V8 turbocharged engine, weighs around 2,230 kg apparently gets 27 m.p.g. on the "open road".
and the interior looks like this

Re: Classic for under £10K
Would that be a Turbo R by any chance?

Re: Classic for under £10K
Lovely car to drive on the open road but a bugger around town, merely due to the size and mpg when just used for shopping trips. I did a spell of part time driving wedding cars for a friend of a friend and had the pleasure of taking a few brides to the church in a white Turbo R, I did used to get bored at the petrol pump though!!
