Some nice Cerberas can still be had for this money, although the type is generally appreciating in value.
It would seem to tick all stated boxes.
I would love a TVR but always worry about running one. Also I already have a 1967 S1 Jaguar E-type which is my garage queen and occasional weekend car so need something that I can jump and use a bit more and doesn't require constant pampering.It would seem to tick all stated boxes.

A lot of options to be had in that bracket!
Audi S5 (V8 version)
Audi TT-RS (hovering around £20k now)
Golf-R (Does lots of things well....the 3 door could be classed as a 2+2)
BMW M235 (heading into this price range now)
BMW Z3M Coupe (A little north of budget but seen a few at £24k)
BMW M3
Vauxhall VXR8 (not a coupe I know)
Lexus ISF (as above)
As a few others have said, CLS5/600
There will be no end to this... especially if you go older (Rx7s, Skylines, Cerberas, XKRs etc etc)

Jesus wept. The guy wants to spent £20k on a 2+2, opening up a world of interesting motors, and you recommend him a 2-series, a TT and a Golf? (that's ignoring the repmobiles and the 2-seater Z3M)Audi S5 (V8 version)

The PH hivemind is frightening at times...
OP, it depends on how much you need the back seats to be useful, but I would be inclined to look at:
- Jag XKR 4.2 (most recent shape). Lots of car, lots of occasion, docile in the real world.
- BMW M6 V10. So much engine, particularly with a bit of exhaust fettling. Can see these appreciating in the near future too.
- Mustang GT 4.6. Not the quickest, but plenty of tuning potential. Sit on the wrong side, but drive a legend.
- CLK63 AMG. Lots of wallop, not terribly sporty, but reasonably refined.
- E9x M3. The last NA M3, with a V8, and a Spanish gearbox. What's not to like? Budget gives you a good choice.
- 997 3.6. Astonishingly competent car, although slightly leggy at this budget.
It's frankly amazing how much car £20k (the price of a new Fiesta) can buy you!

Lower Control Arm (suspension arm) - I'd imagine this will alter the Camber gain and/or the Caster in a positive way for improved handling.C70R said:
