For some time now I have been wanting to buy a Spider from around the time I was born (late 1971) so I am on the lookout for a 71/72 example.

This is not something that I must do RIGHT NOW but if, next week or next month or next year, the right car comes along I want to be in a position to go for it.

I don’t have the cash to go for one in Concourse condition. Nor do I have the cash to go for a complete restoration job. So what I am looking for is something from the middle ground. A runner in decent condition that I can work on over time.

So, to complement my own research, I have a few questions for you more experienced Spider owners: -

1) can you recommend a good buyers guide for Spiders of that age?

b) what major, and expensive, problems should I be looking out for on Spiders of that age?

iii) what ‘ballpark’ figure should I roughly be looking to pay?

And lastly, where are the best places to be looking?

All comments/advice greatly appreciated, and thank you in anticipation.
