Right. As a few of you may know I had a disaster on my way up for the gathering this year, stuffing my 205 in the wet into the back of a blasted %$@!...
Anyway, to date I have never made it to the gathering in a retro car, not have I, despite my years and posts on this forum, had much success with build threads (the only builds I've finished I haven't documented properly!) So need to buck my ideas up a bit.
So, following discussions with some of the top team of this parish, I need to make it to RRG next year (you listen covid...) in a retro, and get it up the hill.
Her however is the rub, I am skint! I mean del and Rodney skint, so this will have to be a proper shoestring build.
The first thing will be finding the right car, so if anyone has any suggestions I will be most grateful!

So far I have put eBay bids on an A40 Farina, a metro and some old J stuff.
No wins yet, as it all goes higher than the cost of a London pint, but will see!
Not got a retro for the first time, well ever really. I must admit my expectation for the prices is a few years out! Good fun browsing though!

Mk2 and 2f polos still trade hands fairly cheaply. If you time it right can definitely get one sub £500 on the road.

I have a 1986 Daihatsu Charade for sale.. You sound like a guy who appreciates small square hatchbacks that enjoy a bit of liftoff oversteer when you're being silly, and as such I feel it could be right up your street...
