Have a read of this :~

Interestingly the car in the article there was one of elite car sales’ stock
Reminds me of an occasion when I defended James (elites’ owner) reputation
And was immediately told I was talking bull locks by a certain v8 owner from Scotland
Sounds like the same sort of mindset I thought at the time

Chris

I don't have a problem with Rover/MG V8's but which would I buy at a similar price ..... that or this:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vauxhall-...UAAOSwqYZZuQgc

no choice, the Vauxhall (well it's more a GM/Holden really isn't it) every time.

Actually I'd buy something else entirely but if I wanted a V8

I look in on PH simply because of the vast numbers of users. Always nice to get a different view of things. Thing to remember with that forum it doesn't favour any one marque.

If it gets people so worked up, why bother looking? I'm sure some just look so they can get worked up.
