I have a friend who is trying to get me a three door down Oxford way, a long way from Anglesey, but it might be worth it for a running chassis.

Sounds truly outstanding, dread to think what that cost but woth it for the grin factor alone I guess.

Love my Classic !!!

Mr-Tomcat · Nov 6, 2008

I always try parking mine next to the post 96 cars, as the Classic shape is still nicer as the last picture shows so well.

Andy.

Khryztal · Nov 6, 2008

Your right. Tomcat. The Classic is the best shape.
PLus why did they name the later model after a David's Isopon product?
P38 is a body filler not a car. lol

Mr-Tomcat · Nov 6, 2008

I was looking at a P38 earlier I would not have said no if offered it was absolutely lovely and well kept, a credit to her type even.

Andy.

In my house the jury is out on anything other than a Classic, we started off awith a 2 door V8 that became a diesel after doing 240,000 miles on the V8, we then went to a B reg 4 door V8, then an E reg ex old bill V8, then an L reg Vogue SE V8.

But our tug for the last 4 years is a 94 M reg Soft Dash 300 TDI auto. Haven't made my mind up on the P38 as yet.

Thanks mate. Lotsa lotsa smiles when I'm driving it. Love to take all the credit but it was the R&D vehicle for BBM Offroad (BBM = Big Balls Motorsports

) used to develop a 4" lift kit for the classic.

Spent more than I shoulve..., but nowhere near what it cost.

It is being used in anger but I also want to keep it looking nice so will spend the money when necessary to fix it up when it gets broken.

I've posted some of the build pics in the members gallery if you are interested. Cheers.
