Every week a Guardian Money reader submits a question, and it's up to you to help him or her out – a selection of the best answers will appear in next Saturday's paper.

This week's question

I'm thinking of buying a classic car – an old MG, Morgan, or maybe something from the 1970s. Ideally, it will have low insurance, no car tax and be cheap to repair. Any advice from readers on models that work financially. Or do all such cars turn into moneypits?

What are your thoughts?
