I'm sure we will be able to find you something to restore, and return to the road, and I'm certain Brian (Fareham GT) will be along in a moment to let us know of some possible projects he has tucked away up his sleeve...
There are always a few cars around, but they were rare when new, so tend to be even rarer and therefore more special now
Personally I would always recommend the estate as a good practical car to restore, although some would hint that perhaps I'm a bit biased...
Keep in touch, and join the fold and hopefully another car will be saved...
Best Wishes
Grahame
