£1500 is ok. Anything less than £1000 will be a shed.

I believe it is 17 but if your over 25 go with a classic car insurance policy. Much cheaper than what some of the companies want to charge you (Which is frankly extortionate sometimes)

As per running I get 35ish MPG from a long run providing their is no tunnels or other modified cars about  :smiley:

You should go look at some vr6's that are for sale. from my experience a £1500 'minter' can easily be a shed underneath the surface and vice versa. Ealry ones seem to be stucturally better built than the later ones. In fact i have yet to come across a late Mk3 thats not riddled with some level of rot.

Not really I modded the sh!te out of it and it just drank juice probably to do with the viper air kit and full straight through stainless and a few other things :whistle:

not really seeing as you don't know what was done to the 8V and I seem to like cruising the VR6 more
