    I have a number of friends who have done it with varying cars.

    Post 1 Jan 1989 are 12 months ownership only. The costs can work out, but you need to want the car, rather than see it as a money making spinner.

    Pistonheads has so much car porn for sale that it's ridiculous and scarily tempting.

    Can I ask why people always want cars from the UK?

    Can you not get cars from other commonwealth countries (eg south africa)?

    As someone has posted on this thread we wash are cars with salty water in the winter times....

    Thanks for any replies.

    Price, RHD, large range, no issues with language barriers (except for people from Devon).

    Pretty simple.

    Are cars that much cheaper in the UK?

    All commonwealth countries drive on the right.

    They speak English in most commonwealth countries.

    Just I know how bad some of the cars can be in the UK!! I used to own quite a few of them!!

    2nd hand prices in the UK are what make them so tempting.
