£10k car that won't lose any/much money over a year
Discussion
The trouble with any sports or classic car is that while it won't depreciate much, anything that needs repairing or replacing in that time, or even a routine service could be a big cost.
I'd go for something that can be sold quickly and easily, a diesel estate or people carrier, one owner, with low mileage. Something like a VW or Audi that's done it's first big chunk of depreciation but shouldn't go wrong in that time. Buy and sell well and you shouldn't lose very much.

That's a very good point that is often forgotten when discussing such matters.I'd go for something that can be sold quickly and easily, a diesel estate or people carrier, one owner, with low mileage.

With that in mind I reckon that the Cooper S as suggested above is a very good call.
Any others?
