The 'What Car' wiki - PH cars only
To qualify for placement on the Wiki cars should be either; fast, fun or interesting so that they have some form of PH cred. Normal more mundane cars should be listed elsewhere.
The aim here is to produce a resource of what fast fun cars are available in the UK market at different price points as a used car purchase. It shouldn't be there to tell anyone what to buy, merely to show them options on what is possible for their money.![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)
For each price band the cars listed should be reasonable to buy for that budget in a road worthy and usable condition (minus road tax). Each price band should be further sub-divided in different car types to aid clarity.
