What car £4-5k can be silly!!!

[Bit of a Unit]

I need a stop gap car £4-5k for the next 6 months or so....

I can be as silly our as sensible as I see fit!

So far I have looked at old Boxsters and Z4s at this money. I even took a quick trip on Saturday to look at a TVR wedge but I need it to work when I want not when it wants!

On the silly scale this caught my eye whilst thumbing through a classic car mag over the weekend.

Appreciate this is a wide spectrum but I really fancy something different hence asking for left field suggestions.

My only stipulation is it must have at least 3 months MOT.

Over to you...

That is a cracking start!!!

Probably should add that I would like to be able to fit in it and said vehicle should be able to carry me up hill!! I am a "bit of a unit!"

I disagree. Compared to the OP's offering, your choice is positively sensible

Excellent work, lead me immediately to the 500 SEC underneath which is really interesting...

I had looked at the Maserati but the mileage terrifies me!

Anything goes wrong and it will be expensive however it is quite a shout...

Quite liking the old CLs.

Please keep the suggestions coming this is really helpful

So you are after a comfy barge rather than a fun car?

Currently have a half way house as I have an XKR that is going to fund a business start up.

I suppose its either!

My initial thinking was sports/fun.

We have a new 3 series for sensible motoring...

That TVR is interesting.

Jag XK8 I have done.

I wouldn't fit in the mini!

Outstanding response, thanks everyone.

I still have links to click and review but from what I've seen so far....

The P6 is a great find as is the CL55.

If that P6 wasn't snot green the thread would be over! Even so it's on the list....

You could get yourself a very daft 200SX for that... Might be a bit childish for you though!

Already done the 200sx s14a loved it!

Had a GTI-R as well best fun I've ever had! Leaving 911s behind in a Nissan Sunny hilarious!

More please, I am buying next week

Very nice barge that!

I am now wondering if I have big enough balls for the 928, no mot but a proper dream car from my youth.
