What Car? £10k to spend - Modern Classic
Discussion
Sorry folks another what car thread, I would appreciate your ideas though.
Criteria is:
under £10k
Manual gearbox
250+ BHP or a power to weight ratio which would give similar performance, car can be mildly tuned to reach this figure.
No rag tops, sorry MX-5 fans.
Something that isn't available as a mainstream model e.g. Focus RS, M3 - although I will make exceptions for rarer stuff e.g Lotus Carlton.
Decent sized boot, or rear seat space to put stuff on e.g. 2 persons luggage
Looking for something that will depreciate slowly and a bit different, hence the modern classic tag.
Any ideas?

Corrado VR6 storm - good
Or a really really tidy 944 Turbo/968 - even better
TVR Griffith - don't want a convertible (but strangely tempted)
RX-7 - maybe
XJS - I would love an XJS, hard to find in manual maybe. Sorry to be fussy but me and girlfriend have both got auto daily drivers and I am sick of em. Same goes for the 8 series Beemer.
Merc 190 - definitely. Bloke is having a laugh at that price though.
ZMCoupe - very good
Lancia Delta HF integrale - this car fits the bill perfectly, unfortunately I have already had 2 so want something different.
928S4 - auto, GT model would be on the list.
Impreza RB5, M3 - sorry, not wanting a hot version of a mainstream model.
Thanks for your excellent suggestions so far!

some good suggestions so far.
Sorry I should have pointed something else out - it must have 4 seats (2+2 is okay, it is only for a baby). Just started surfing the web for tidy Griffiths and Elises when I remembered the other half is pregnant!
Also no left hookers.
Also thinking late 80s minimum, so that discounts early 911s, old Mercs and BMW's
Suprised the Yank mob haven't been on here yet?

I thought about getting a two seater as it is only a 2nd car, but would prefer room for the other two.
944/968 or 928 surfacing as the favourites at the moment, closely followed by 190 cosworth.
Always liked the look of those Renault Alpine A610s as well. Anyone know if they are 4 seaters?

Good suggestions but a bit out of the parameters. Quattro is ancient and Vette is LHD.
Found this, looks cheap...
