Been Reading Malcom's site & Got this idea for a Road trip/Holiday, Bearing in mind that I never been anywhere outside UK and not seen much of that either (seriously)
Plan is Getting hold of a Car as a project, spend a bit doing it up possibly full restore but not really to original spec. Take it for a spin around Europe,Bit of fishings,site seeing ect.. generally driving around the french countryside annoying everyone.
Was thinking must be Something Ye olde british sportscar, MG,Triumph or something although lack of funds suggest MG + they are quite easy to get panels and parts for?
Current favorite is getting an MGB GT & Stick a V8 in it like malcom did? Then long distance tank,comfy seats,Might make a rudimentary camper in the back of it.
But dont know what these old crocks are like long distance? I expect not good comfort wise, Although might be a good thing as its an excuse to stop and do some site seeing
What you think? Anyone done this kind of trip? Should I just take the van? Get something newer?
