Mmm - several houses pictured there. I count four. I'll maybe leave out pics of Duttons for the time being...

2002ti? where? oh yes I see I like those too, always did like the Rapiers though. If I could find a good one I'd use it for my everyday transport. I'd do some mods to make it drive better (V8 maybe?) but I think they look great.

nobody can ever accuse you of being boring with that little selection at least!!

I say cool, you've tried some variety!

i was gonna comment onthat too, always liked those - it was made alongside the hunter (arrow shape) and had the same 1725cc (?) engine.

I had a hunter shaped singer gazelle eons ago in the very late 70s'

I like the GTM, what was it like to drive?

could you use it as a daily driver on a long commute???

i have been looking for a 4th car thats a little different and easy to work on.

Ditch

The original owner of the car used it for that very purpose for 8 years and put 90 odd thousand miles on it. I used it myself for commuting and working, just to see if it could be done, on the odd day and it was fine. Travel was fine, but lunchtime was a bind (if you work 'on the road'.

I would heartily reccomend a K3 - they're criminally undervalued right now. I got £1600 for mine and a 1.8 VVC engined car in nicer condition sold last week for just over 2 grand. I'm not complaining though. My GTM experience cost me £200 in depreciation and I got some hillclimbs and sprints out of it

Many thanks, I just have to finish the MK Indy first and then I may buy one.

I currnetly have a Golf GTi and a Hyundai Trajet (with 4 Boys I need some think big).

My fiancee is starting a new job in a deprived area of essex and i dont fancy her using a "flash motor", but she wants something sporty. with so many motors and also the boys scooters it is becoming expensive. the K3 seems a good comprimise... sporty and unknown brand, likley to go unnoticed by the local yobs on her route.. and also something I could have fun in.....
