buying a classic car for £20000, which one?

I have £20000 to be spent on a 2 seater classic car, but i don't know which one to choose. Any ideas?

£20k gets you a perfect TR3a or MGB roadster or prettier MGA roadster which, if bought right in the first place, and well cared for, will appreciate rather than depreciate. I wouldn't be more ambitious than that.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
