I would say
Sagaris, lovely one at Racing Green for sale mad colour scheme.
There is a TSO for sale iirc down Park Lane last time i walked along there.
Or here http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C19784
Or how about really saving some more pennies and getting your name down on the new skyline, massive resale value there too. Think R8 on launch %30 premium on list..

Around £60k maybe, if they get around to selling it here.

Around £30k in Japan and the US by the sound of it ranting

I'd get one new for that price.

E39 M5 to heavy, ditto current M5 and M6
Weissmann too much money for what it is
Sagaris doesn't float my boat. T350C with a corvette lump though...
Mustang too lardy
That TSO was a press car - you've seen how Nigel drives right?
Used to drive an R33 regularly, great fun but not that "special"- new one proves we are still being ripped off.

E28 M5 looks like fun for the money. Ditto Elise S2 with toyota power.

You fussy bastard hehe

It's clearly going to need to be a 911 of some sort after what you've said. I vote for a 996 C4S.

Or what about a MR2 that has been 'looked' at by Boss up at Silverstone. After doing a couple of laps in it I can say it was bloody impressive, not that the Lambo/Tuscan drivers thought that though as we flew past them biggrin

sshh!! this is exactly what I'm thinking about doing for a trackday car later in the year.

The "SP240" Mk3 MR2 looks like a bloody good laugh. You lucky bugger, having had a few laps driving it!!!

No, I wasn't lucky enough to drive it, one mishap in a day was enough for Phil think, but still it is a bloody good car, have a word with him and take it out, you won't believe it drivinghehe

Noble, well for a fun weekender why not
M5, go any where do any thing
Any of the Audi RS club would provide all round entertainment (do you have a labrador for the back window?)
