What would you suggest for a retired couple with one modern car looking for a classic for general driving around and longer trips involving highway driving.
Here are the requirements:
1) Not too expensive to buy in "turnkey" condition, say $5000-$8000 dollars.
2) Must have overdrive or 5 speed for long trips.
3) Must be easy home maintenance, cheap insurance and parts.
4) Not too low or too small, (bad backs!)
5) A roof is practical because it extends the season, and keeps contents safer.
A V6 Mustang had been considered but they are all automatics, Alfa GTV considered but there is concern about maintenance costs.
It doesn't have to be a sportscar, so a Cortina might be o.k., but I think a TR7 or MGB GT.
What other soggestions do you guys have?
Simon.
