Are you sure? The first time I went in one (as a passenger) I thought we were capsizing at the first mini roundabout. Next version (whatever it is called) is far better in that regard.

That's the charm of the P38 I've had two and never capsized one.
The later L322 that I had is certainly a different league again but more money.

I think the styling has gradually got worse from the first to the the current.
But I can't afford a good Series 1. This would be nice:

So it has to be a P38
There is a nice history / timeline here:

I wasn't planning to go round any corners.

Yes. Good plan.
But MrsMM is the Finance Director round here, so sneaking the necessary £5k out of the bank to do that deal might be noticed.
I wonder if a dealer selling one would take a fee for a two-month 'test drive', but I guess that's not how their business model works.

I suppose I could just tell her that my latest bill from SportsItalia was £5k.
What's the definition of buy? And how long is "a bit"? Plenty of wiggle room for a resourceful chap like you!

CSK 
Had the opportunity to buy the only Overfinch converted CSK ever converted, with full 5lt chevy V8, manual, suspension and steering mods.
Was my mates late father who had it virtually from new.
Needed too much work (rust) for me.
It's had a few owners since though with £10's of K spent on it.

I suppose I could do a 'spoon' and buy one sight unseen and then return it within 14 days.

For me the P38 is still a sharp looking motor in the timeline pictures.
There's a strong following like on here and parts availability is 100% with many specialists out there.
The most complicated system on them is the HVAC.
Like anything take your time and buy the best you can.

The 4 litre is a bit pedestrian, the 2.5 diesel is almost dangerously lethargic. 4.6 is the best of the bunch, in Vogue flavour preferably. I had an Oxford Blue 4.6 Vogue with cream leather back in the day, great car.

Oooh! Affordable 4.6. Don't love blue, but it is tempting. Now which forum member wants to buy it and then 'lend' it to me???

You say that but my neighbours 4.4 TDV8 (60 plate) has been on a ramp waiting for a cooling pipe for the last 2 months.
Needed after the aux belt tensioner went for a tea break and the belt thrashed around for a while.
And that didn’t work, even before the belt went for a ride.
He does love it though. He had another L322 before that which was scrapped because it needed the body off to replace some brake pipes.
