[Classic car newbie]

Wow, lots of great advice and information. I was thinking that I really needed OD but looks like I could live without it. The Swedish car is from 1971 - the guy has just sent me some more photos and everything looks in excellent order. Anything in particular I should be asking him?

Great recommendations from both of you. I have been in touch with the gentleman in Sweden and the car does look lovely. Only thing which was a negative for me was no overdrive. Are these cheap/easy to install though?

Thank you all for the kind welcomes.

Thanks for the heads up on the Classic Le Mans as well John. Sadly still working then so will have to try next year.

Going to search locally first, but nice as they are the websites are full of classic Fiats and Lancias. The few Triumphs I have seen advertised are in great condition but come with a Swiss premium. I'm a Brit so might look back there and then deal with the nightmare of importing a car!

Hello all.

Glad to have discovered this Forum.

This will be my first foray into the classic car world, though the wife did have a Valiant Charger. I ride/restore old motorcycles for a hobby (including a 1950 German Triumph) but now would like something a bit more weatherproof. Have been looking at the GT6, all marks, but particularly like the mk3. I'll want something that's pretty much sound so I can get straight into enjoying the driving.

I'm fortunate to live and work in a beautiful part of Europe with some fantastic mountain roads to try out. Watching the Ollon-Villars Historic Hillclimb pass through our village last year whetted my appetite even more.

Will probably need to ask your advice from time to time with some hopefully not to silly questions.

Cheers
