Good luck with the search. All I would say is you have some 'big hitters' in the club giving you very good advice on what to look for and avoid so I hope it helps you choose. I would definitely say you can't go wrong with MrMs car but I'm accutely aware it's not my money or choice. If you dig through the forum in the 'search' section you will see the work members have done on their cars etc and I think you will quickly want a V8 and an earlier car as already suggested.
I would say bite the bullet on travel. You want to get the right car and if you need to travel just jump in the car or train, make a weekend of it. You will quickly forget any inconvenience for the right car but you will never forget rushing into buying the wrong car just because it's a bit closer to home.
Can't wait to see what you end up with and know you will really enjoy whatever you buy
Cheers Steve

Very sage words Steve, the search is a big part of the fun, try to look at a few and see some bits of the country at the same time.

I am looking too. There are more over here, and a bit cheaper too. But the travelling is a killer. I can do a 30 + hour round trip, and still find a pile of poo.
