Best b-road blaster for £6k or under

Not bothered about the shape, the economy, or the insurance.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Been keeping my eye open for a local, well maintained R26.

S m, I'd say most feedback and most fun, being cheap to run would just be a bonus.

Not really looked into XKR's, heard only good things about them. Thanks!

Thanks for all the suggestions, I've been looking closely at Clio's and Megane's for a while now, if one comes up local to me I don't think I'd say no.

I'd love a bike I really would, but there's just something in my brain telling me I shouldn't

The MX-5 idea isn't a bad one, supercharged or not I've heard they're quite the drive.

Impreza's are still on my list, I just love the noise they make.

As for a DC2, I'd love one, or an ek9 Civic but it's getting harder to find really nice ones. Also yeah an S2000 would be nice but christ they've rocketed in value, or is that just me?

Another vote for an RX8, I bought mine cheap knowing it had hot start issues then spent 2.5k on a rebuilt and some other work, the engine is now guaranteed for the next 30k or two years

Interesting, always wanted an RX8 but was put off by the hot start issue. £2.5k isn't bad, considering they go for pennies nowadays!

MR2's are a good shout too, still love the look of them!
