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.
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.
