Hi guys
I’m new to the forum but i've spent the last few weeks looking around to get the feel of it. It is a wealth of priceless information.
Im an ex pat living in France and very keen to get my hands on my dream car. Currently on the market looking for a 3500 or 3500S in good condition, but there doesn't seem to be a great deal of choice at the moment. It has to be good condition as its first journey will be an 800mile trip to the south of France!!
I have owned a couple of classics in the past - Dolomite Sprint and a mk2 Cortina 1600E, but the P6 has always been my dream car and my mid life crisis is acting as the catalyst . I’m not particularly talented or experienced with mechanics or restoration work but i am super keen to learn, so if you don’t mind i will be around here asking the usual stupid questions.
First one: If you were to buy a P6 and take it to the south of France on its first journey, what spare parts would you take with you?
second one: Am I mad for even attempting this?
Thanks
Russ
