dont be hasty mate...another car may also bring unexpected costs...youve got one of the cheapest cars for a clutch and headgasket job to be done on.

its not a debate anyway that se3 has been such a mistake, always think with your head when getting a cally off ebay

so your going to buy another car in the hope you get a minter for not a lot of money, and then never spend any money on it ...... :alright:

8v engine ....we sold one for £50 ...clutch kit £80

and your throwing away £400 you have spent on it .....that makes a load of sense that does

so get you act together and get it sorted mate
