Its been suggested that I don't get a MGBGT if and when i sell my 99 turbo.

How about some suggestions for possible alternatives. requirements must be:-

a) minimum 2+2 seating
b) tax free
c) no bigger than a saab 99
d) easily available within a £3-3.5k budget
3) rwd

wouldn't mind a sunbeam alpine (probably rot boxs for my budget), reliant scimitars are a bit drab inside, quite like beetles but not favouring the engine layout or that i see them nearly every day.

GT6 would be my choice; but the rear seats are more akin to r/c cars than real car seats!

having had a mk2 spit, i can only guess the back seat must be pretty small

FIAT 124 Sport Coupe.

AC series as that age, with the sweet 1400 twin cam

Are Gilberns still in that price range?

there is very little room in the back of a B GT - not really a 2+2. Triumph Stag, might get one for that money, might need a bit of work though?

oh ford capris are quite good too, plenty of space in the back for adults..

I think you've missed requirement "B" Rich

Your making the right choice not to buy a MGB, they are ten a penny around here and do nothing for me, What do you need from a car?, Does it need to be a sporty open top or can it been a family car like a Viva or a Escort or better still a 105E, I'm sure you can still pick up half decent examples of them for under £3.5k.

If a saloon then triumph 2000 or 2500, or 3500 v8 p6
