Classic Cars that you can BUY FOR LESS THAN £5,000

Get yourself a Geoff car! bit.ly/RenaultJulyAgain

A little tip for people wanting a classic but are afraid of the fragility of a classic - buy a Peugeot 107, Toyota Aygo Mk1 or a mk1 Citroen C1. I bought one after owning a gas guzzler because I wanted something cheap and economical for a year or so and I'm absolutely bowled over by it. It actually feels like driving a classic from the 80s. It has bags of character, it's fun, it's nippy, it has a great engine and exhaust sound and it has a wonderful minimalist design. The only fancy bits I have are a radio, a rev counter and electric front windows. That's it! It's the antidote to all the gadget festooned cars of today that feel like you're driving your ipad. It's not fast but it's a proper little driver's car. You have bags of fun at low speeds. Love it!

SAAB convertible for me. Had a 900 gls 30 years ago. Left the road into ditch thanks to some icy surface, it drove straight out. Built like a tank.

I got a 79 midget no tax no test £90 a year insurance and only cost a couple of grand happy times ( plus it’s a convertible with a hardtop)

Only watched the first two vehicles - they are modern cars compared to Heralds, Imps, Minis, P4 and P5 Rovers, Midgets, Spitfires, Toledos, Vivas, Chevette and the list goes on for sub £5k classics.

In 1993 I paid around 5 grand for a nine y-o Land Rover 127; I still have it.

I have an XJ ORVIS 2.5 diesel. Love it. Had it over ten years.

Anglia car auctions had a 1975 Lomax 3 Wheeler (2cv kit car) it sold for £3456. Thats my Dream Car!

Hi Geoff, just watched Freddie Dobbs on YouTube, 'into Luxembourg'. He's in Belgium and just found a closed Volvo showroom at a petrol station that's full of Volvo's, they look new just covered in dust.

No matter fow fast you drive on a Fiat Coupe Turbo, everyone overtakes you during your oil up haha. True story. Drove without stops for 7 hours and same Coupe overtook me 3 times

10:20 go on! Do the challenge!

LPG converters freeze up because the fuel is extremely cold. They work by funneling engine coolant through them to keep them warm. So that 110 was probably running low on coolant, making it freeze up despite the hot weather. My LPG-equipped Opel Monza 3.0E has done this to me before when the weathered plastic coolant expansion tank had sprung a leak.

Audi 80, BMW E46 convertible would be the sensible choices and my personal go to's, DB7 is stunning but a huge financial gamble, love the DS, as it has cool factor. It's amazing what's for sale for under £15000 when you look hard enough. The Peugeot and Opal prototypes were awesome looking and they would sell them by the bucket load of they brought them out. Great video Geoff.

I bought my mgzt 2.5 12 years ago for 400 quid ! Still love it

WOW!" Seeing that '86 Vauxhall cavalier brought it back for me! That convertible is a beauty!

Great video, guys.. I'd have the Audi, then the Saab..

PS: Nearly bought a convertible Mustang back in 1983. I'm glad I saw the pool of oil on the floor before I handed over the cash. But at £2750 maybe I should have taken a punt.

I have a very fine 1987 Volvo 240 estate available for less than £5000. Father in law needs to get rid, just run in at just 102k, very good condition. Probably done 50 miles a year for the last 10 years and otherwise sits in the garage. Always starts first time though. I'm sure an enthusiast would like it. I sadly have too many cars myself.

Yes, I'd enjoy watching you guys driving back from Europe in a classic car. Interesting to see if you'd make it back without breaking down!

Changing the clutch without removing the gearbox on a Vauxhall was a fantastic feature.
