I mentioned to DH that "someone" was getting a new car, and from the way they were raving about it I thought it might just be a Moggy. And it is! I should have put it in writing, shouldn't I?
Nah, I believe you.
I could have bought one from the guy that maintained Karen's for about £200 - this was 1989 though. I really wish I had bought one, even though I never did get as far as my test.
Well, you could buy one now and learn on it... :-) though not for as little as £200 unless you want a big restoration project. The price guide in Minor Matters suggests that you're looking at £1500 and upwards for any type of moggy in "condition 2" (good condition, capable of everyday use without excessive maintenance). For cars in "condition 3" (mostly good condition, but will need a fair amount of restoration to get it usable for everyday) you may be able to get something for as little as £400 (depending on what model/year/etc. of moggy you're looking for), but you'll be pouring money into it to get it to a point where you can sensibly use it as a car rather than as a toy.
(And yes, I know where my spare cash is going to be going from now on... but she's worth it!)
