Some of the most motoring fun I’ve had, certainly in terms of £/unit of fun, has been from random ad-hoc purchases. I don’t regret any of them. Merc W126 500 SEC (£1,250 - 2004) E30 BMW 325i (£900 - 2007) , Audi A8 4.2 Quattro (£750 I think, 2015?) , Audi 2.8 Cabriolet (£536 - 2013). Prices and years from memory - none were low mileage, all were bought sight unseen. And none of them were unreliable. Worst was the cabriolet, where the heater matrix went after about 4 years. Single most expensive was the 325 touring where I spent £1,200 on a suspension refresh. Cheapest was the cabriolet, which lost £36 in value in the time we had it. So, go for it!
