The top ends and head gaskets on Scoobys are usually pretty reliable y'know. Its the bottom ends on the pre version 7 cars that generally let them down. Either down to detonation or oil!

To be honest if you can't afford to spend £7-£10k on a (newer) Scooby, how are you going to afford an older one for about £5k + maintenance costs?

I was going to get a classic shape one myself in November but I'm not brave enough to part with my money for something that needs lots of £ spent on it!

You would be better off getting something like an Astra GSi or similar, cheaper to buy and cheaper to fix when something goes bang! You can't pick up replacement Scooby engines for £300 you know!
