P5B Coupe

Rather fallen for these at the moment, and I'm looking for an 'everyday' classic to drive a few miles to the station and back everyday.

Doesn't need to be pristine as it will be the basis of a rolling restoration over time.

Pricewise it looks like I could find a worthy looking one for <5k.

So anyone know about specialists / owners clubs / buying guides etc for them? Found a few links via google, but would be good to get an insiders perspective on them.

e.g. what to look out for, what restoration will usually be required on a typical car..

For the P5 club go here:-

Much better to buy a car within a club since people usually know the car and are enthusiasts.

For one's for sale look here:-

Not my thing but I still love them. Best of luck!

Thanks for the link to the club - looks like it's the best place to start. Remember seeing these on TV when I was a kid and always rather admired them.
