How about a Scimitar? You should be able to get a pretty good one of those
for £500. Well, good by the standards of Scimitars, that is.

You're kidding aren't you? You're most likely to get one with a goosed
engine or cracks int he front wheelarches meaning the strengthening
plates have rotted.

Just dealing with one of those at the moment. Real bitch of a job
particularly as I have just run out of acetone to clean the area. I am
replacing the load spreading plates with stainless as the offside one sits
directly below the expansion chamber.

Glassfibre repairs aren't that difficult though and a rough Scimitar might
be a good self training exercise.
