20k ph classifieds challenge

[BoRED S2upid]

If I can spend the change on a crash helmet and decent waterproofs I'd blow £19,500 on the best caterham I could find I like a challenge.

[Matt UK]

I'd plump for a Porsche 997 Carerra S, coupe, manual.

With the smaller standard wheels and dark blue with tan leather if I can afford to be picky.

Tuscan.

I don't care how unreliable they are, they sound like and appear to have been designed by H.R.Giger - it is VERY high on my bucket list of cars.

£18k.

Is that where it came to rest?

Probably this; (2006 Jaguar XJ)

Or maybe this; (1990 Bentley Turbo R)

In terms of owning for 3 years and enjoying it as much as possible, something like this:

All the car I could use, in a gorgeous colour. Interior a bit blue maybe, and might not fit the bike/kayak/climbing gear in. I wonder how creative Proche could get with roof-bars...

WOW 20K can buy a lot of car , sometimes wonder why people spend a similar amount on a run of the mill hatch or saloon.

Sooo much choice not enough time or money so I will go with my first thought , though my mrs would kill me if I picked this over the 4.2 XF posted.

You can pick them up for £20k, but something like this:

[Japveesix]

This corvette would be tempting

Or a silly power Skyline/Supra

but for a bit more practicality this would do:

Can a car get any better than this for that money?

Just before it burst into flames setting the fields on fire and around 1000 sheep perished.

Definitely German Saloon territory in this price bracket.

E60 M5, CLS63, 996 C4S, M3 CS; all great cars that i'd love to have. A Lotus Europa (2006) would interest me, but i'd be worried about reliability and/or repair costs (Also i might not fit due to height).
BMW 850 and Aston DB7 both great-looking cars for the price, though the 850 seems slow and the DB7 isn't the most dependable of cars.
Therefore:

£18995 and lovely colour!

Love it but your only car for 3 years? You either have balls of steel in the winter or can walk to work lol

Pfft, man up, I collected mine in the snow ;-)

[AngryPartsBloke]

VXR8. Done





Or a TVR

Or a "Do-er upper" Lotus Carlton

OR an Escort Cosworth.

Oh dear..

[iain014]

[village idiot]

bmw m6 cab in interlagos blue with linen leather...

job done.

put the roof down, cruise through town and then when you hit the motorway, unleash the v10!

try to find one that has been properly derestricted and you have the potential of a 200mph+ top speed.
