What £5k special classic

[IceBoy]

Hi All,

Future house purchase means, I will have space for another car.....don't tell Mrs Ice !! she will kill me! LOL!

So current stock:

Mk1 Golf GTI - sportline cabrio]
Mk2 Golf GTI - Big bumper model
Porsche 996 Turbo S
Mercedes E320 CDI AG auto - Estate - my everyday workhorse
Mercedes C200 CDI Elegance auto - Mrs Ice's car

So if I had £5k to spend on adding to the collection, as a special car, what would you have? I don't want something that will depreciate massively though!!

My thoughts so far:

Mercedes R129 SL, preferably 500 V8
Some sort of Ford - Cortina/Capri/Escort? - might be too expensive?
Mercedes coupe of some-sort?
Jag ? XJ/XJS ??
Lotus Elan from the 90's

I want it to be special enough, not sure the Ford's fit that bill?

Open to suggestions.

Thanks BERGS2, I'm open to anything really but it has to be a head turner/special or just different.

Hi All,

What is the general consensus on the MR2 mk1 and mk2 ?

Ive always liked the shape of the Mk2 but the mk2 is just so retro!??

I know about rust issues, never owned a Japanese car of any description but would like one to add to the collection?
