What would you rather spend £5000 on, rather than this...

The triump has 10 months MOT and 4 months tax. It is all ready to be driven away. Looking for 5k or nearest sensible offer.

Should that not say:

The trump has 10 months MOT and 4 months tax. It is all ready to be driven away. Looking for 5k or nearest sensible offer.

or

The abomination has 10 months MOT and 4 months tax. It is all ready to be driven away. Looking for some one stupid enough to give me 5k.

"When I grow up...I want to be an F40!"

Or what about this..

http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1068472.htm

at what point, after 'THOUSANDS SPENT ON THIS CAR' do you realise you have all of your money up the wall and sit in the corner crying?

Although, I do find the red 535 strangely very,very tasty....shame about the knock off M5 badge.

Jesus christ NCOT you have a fantastic eye for cheap cars!

All of them are pretty damn nice, especially the 'Liner and the Carlson.

[NiceCupOfTea]

Thanks!

I've never been one for "dream" cars (although I could be persuaded by a 993 turbo ) I maintain that I could get pretty much any of my realistic dream cars for under 10k with the exception of a TVR T350 or a 911 930 turbo or 993 turbo.

I would have any of those cars in a shot if I had the disposable available at the moment... Seriously thinking of either supercharging my '5 or chopping it in for a TVR S...

That Escrote has got me salivating at the moment though... )

ETA: Missed off a nice Citroen CX GTi but only because I couldn't find one for sale!

That Westie would be a lot of fun too..

The Quattro as well..

Five K is a bit optimistic. I nearly bought one for 2K a couple of years ago. It made a good noise and was a bit of a laugh.

wow, that 944 turbot looks awesome!

That Triumph would probably sell more easily if it was 'just' a sorted TR8 replica....
