Morning All,

As would see i am looking for a new kit car. Having previously owned a Robin Hood 2B and a Dax Rush i want to make sure i buy something good that i will own for 10 years. My last few cars were not the best for the budget and i have doubled my budget and want to make sure i get my bang for buck.

I would like an open an honest chat on FB, on U2U here, or Whattsapp with some general advice as there are a few cars out there. If anyone is free and up for a chat i would be grateful. I have met some people from the community over the years but i have dropped in and out due to work, part time degree and having children so dont have that support.

Also i have a car im looking at in Edinburgh which is a 5 hour drive, does anyone know of an inspection service thats worth money and rough transport. Im based in Essex. I would go and look at it but i dont want to go up there and find out its a dog and i have traveled 800 miles for nothing.

Depending on what you’re looking at I’d suggest trying to get along to a local club meet for a chat in person with the owner.

The Westfield club for example are very active in the Essex area and have a get together 2nd Sunday of the month at Battlesbrige antiques centre. You may find less cars there in the winter months but as a former owner I know you’ll find plenty of willing help and advice there.

Marque forums are also a good place to start with help and when you’re looking for a car further afield there’s a good chance there’s someone in that area who knows the previous owner of the car that you’re looking at.
