I have one rare car. You try finding parts.
Doing this W114 has taught me one thing that even with a W124 or the 190 I sort of took for granted, parts availability, online knowledge (be it EPC or lovely people here) and real engineering integrity make for a much more realistic ownership proposition. Add in there being lots around because they last and you have access to them at reasonable prices.

there used to be a gorgeous 2500S in dark green i used to see everywhere when i was in my late teens, left a huge impression on me especially when the owner turned out to be a friend of a friend and i got a ride in it.
Definitely on the list if i could find one in good condition at the right price
Have a look on here then, The official website of the Triumph 2000 2500 2.5 Register
I'm the Chairman!

Another vote for 944. Below is mine, my kids love going out in it because of the little bucket seats in the back and most of all the lights pop up!!!
I really do miss my T25 day van/camper. it took me to Le Mans and back a few times without missing a beat. After I'd replaced the rusting fuel tank and cleaned out the carb, that is

I also really miss the 944's I have owned. Fantastic cars. The first one was a 2.5LUX.
The second being a fire breathing chipped and tuned Turbo:bannana:

That's a nice looking 124 coupe. Nice colour scheme. I'd just be a bit concerned as to why it has facelift bits on a '91 car but it could be something quite innocent I suppose.

Good to hear!
We are in the process of appointing a new Webmaster, who will then build us a new website as ours is currently a bit old and stale.
I'm almost finished a 5 year resto of a very rare V8 Engined Estate, can't wait to get it out on the road!
I always fancied a Triumph 2500S estate but never got round to it 
Nearest I had was an 1850HL Dolomite, that was a nice car apart from the rust.

Hows about a 2.3-16? Fit the family in no problem and ultimately chuckable. One of the best cars I ever owned.
A car i`ve always liked, looked into buying one years ago but there where a lot of kitted boy racer 190`s around at the time so it put me off, another one that has aged well but not sure one in my price range wouldn`t be a bit of a money pit?
Funny enough it was the fact i like these and the W114/5 and W123 CE`s that made me look into buying my current car when my wife suggested a 4x4 and now i`m starting to really like the W124 CE`s as well . . .

A P5B Coupe for under £5k would be best avoided.
