Hey All

So thinking of selling my TVR (Chim 450). It's bloody lovely but a change of life situation means I am now going to be doing 4/5000 more miles a year than planned, so it's time for it to move on, as I don't really want to rack up tons of mileage on it, not to mention the fuel bill rise!

At the same time I am looking to start saving for a house deposit etc, so it's time for something cheaper and worth less as well.

So suggestions on a postcard please. Budget around 3K, hoping to achieve about 30MPG, preferably RWD, and hopefully still a little fun. 4 or 2 seats are fine. I am interior guy so something with a quality inside would be great! So not after a lot........

I have owned MX5s, e36s and 350z's before and would like something different if possible!

Happy to entertain obscure suggestions as long as it's going to work most of the time!

Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestions so far, please keep them coming!

Are the MK3 MR2s any good to drive?

A VX is too much money unfortunately!

I don't think you can get a 350 for 3,5K surely not?

Boxster is probably the same, plus I am not sure I would want a boxster that wasn't an S having driven all different models before.

Alfa GT diesel is a thought, but they aren't RWD and are probably horrifically unreliable!

Also, I love the fact that RX8s are so cheap but they are awful on fuel and probably not massively reliable!
