Jess:
Alan is right but you may want to wait a few years for your perfect car. It
took me two years of looking until I found my blue BJ8 and I still had to
replace top, interior, wires and tires and on and on and on....
Key is to join the clubs, go to meetings, ask how to spot a good car from a
fine paint job over a rusted hulk and look at a lot of cars. Those you can't
see yourself pay someone to check out. Many members will do that for free
for you. I made up business cards with what I was looking for and handed
them out to members who posted them. I visited every British shop in my area
and handed out the cards. It turned out to be a member that found my car.
Networking. Buy the best you can afford.
It's the journey. That can be a lot of fun in itself.
Of course if you have $250,000 cash and ready to buy it will be amazing how
fast you can find one. I'll bet your car could be pried from a lister for
that amount :-)
Good Luck!

that could take you a couple of years."
