Pick up one on this side of the pond Snibble because shipping can double the price of the car. I have purchased them cheap and expensive. If you are serious start looking now and do not have a time frame for purchase. I would recommend a 82-85 300D (turbo) for the first one. There are two ways to purchase these cars - cheap (under $2k) that will require another $1-2k to "get them right" or more expensive where everthing works ($3-4k). The secret is to look at ALOT of them and take your time looking.
