Advice Please

[Guest newbie]

Hello,

just some advice pse, new to the kit car scene, (transfering from bikes!) and interested in getting a robin hood, i haven't got the space or time at the moment to build one, im going to have a budget of about £3000 to spend on one, can i get a good one for this? should i go for the 2litre pinto etc etc etc,

any advice would be appreciated,

 

cheers

hi there,

 

the answer is that you should be able to get a good car for that money IF you are prepared to wait a little,

i bought my 2b for that kind of figure, it was 9 months post a first time sva pass, 2 litre pinto, excellent build, did a trip to le mans and various other places with no problems in the first year.

 

get to some shows, look at as many cars as possible and when a car comes up that seems a really good price you'll be abkle to tell if its a good un or not.

 

there may also be local meets where you can have a look at cars and get advice

The 2 litre pinto is pretty quick, not compared to a bike but compared to most other things on the road especially if it has a carb, cam, ignition etc..... They lose out on top speed (Aerodynamics), don't expect to go racing anything on the motorway in one!
