 Cheers for the advice gents , budget is 50 to 60k with some contingency , I'd love a 308 but may have missed the boat on them . I'm in no rush so finding a good one is important .
which way do I go and what's the lap record.

True, will have to see what's available in the near future.

Can you guys explain why the Espada and Urraco are on the do not buy list? Parts availability?

Have no issues doing my own maintenance and repairs bar machining.

Just wondering what draws you to them exactly? That Urraco has been on carsales since Moses were a child

Yep sure, 
               growing up the old man had a series 3 (2a) espada and I like GT cars, to me it's about the enjoyment of working on them rather than having the best looking car on the block.

 Personal preference is the older cars rather than a modern style car and it's the same with my bikes, I have quite a few 70's and eighties two stokes and four stokes.

I guess the other question is practicality verses investment potential, The ferrari v8's seems to be easier to get parts for than the earlier lambos.
