Cheap Deltas - A Route To Bankruptcy?

[markmullen]

I'm in the market for a new smoker and have seen a few Delta HFs and Integrales under £2500, now that to me looks like a whole world of fun and motorsport heritage for not a lot of cash.

Am I being too optimistic in thinking that something like this will give me weekend fun without being a complete shed?

Fuel economy and upkeep costs aren't too critical to me but I need the car to work when I want it to.
