Hi
As some of you know, I've been going through the trials and tribblations of p38 ownership and finally worked out i was sold a line and the engine is foobared
It's an otherwise average/reasonable example of ap38 otherwise but still needs plenty of work to get into what i would describe as good, reliable service. More than I'm able to put in, given the engine woes.
That said, someone i know has expressed interest in it, knowing all the work I've done and *all* the issues and work left
This all means I've not learned my lesson and am thinking already about a replacement!
But I'm not sure exactly what I'm looking for and what i should be looking to pay. I do want another p38 and i do want a v8. There seem to be examples around with top hats, in various states of repair and at various prices. As you know I'm not scared of spanners and not afraid to put effort in but don't really want another endless mire.
Any suggestions? Am i mad if i look for something that's been better looked after? I originally bought the p38 thinking I'd have a reasonably reliable main vehicle, albeit with a regular maintenance schedule
