I know what you mean, go for the cheap motoring route. Unfortunately Mrs A won't go for that. I won a car a few years ago, an MG Metro - Classic! As I didn't go anywhere and it was solid I fancied using it as a daily driver but she wouldn't let A Jnr anywhere near it. Anything over 3-4 years is 'old' for her even when it has a fresh MOT and no rust.

Also don't the original KAs crumble quite quickly ?
