Bying classic car for first time

Any advice on this one please. Where and what to buy and how much to spend. I met someone a couple of years ago that had an an old 37 year old A reg citeron that was a runner and road legal. He said he paid 1300 quid for it, now I imagine the price has gone up since scrap has gone up in comparison. But can I get something like that for its money
Thanks
PS where do you get parts for these thinks

I don't think you are likely to get a comprehensive answer to such a wide open question. You'll have to do your own research.
I've only done a bit of casual poking around while I was back in the UK, prompted by an old Landrover in a local dealer, but it has tended to confirm my impression that I can't now afford to run a car here.
So in answer to your "can I get something like that for its money" I'd say the answer is NO.

It’s unlikely you’ll find something usable that’s already in classic status, but you can pick up something a bit retro from the 90’s that could offer something a bit different but possibly still reliable and with parts availability. A K11 Nissan Micra is a great starting point, these were great fun to drive, very reliable and cheap to buy and run. Avoid the fragile CVT autos and watch for rust. I loved these wee cars when I was a young salesman in the 90’s. The Mk IV Ford Fiesta with the 16v 1.25/1.4 petrol motor were great too, but few have survived due to rust. Well worth preserving either of them.www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202402106441097
