Cool car £2k?

[1987]

I need help as i'm seriously lacking imagination. There is pretty much no criteria other than above 20mpg and no more than £2k. It just has to be cool! I don't mind getting my hands a bit dirty either so rough examples are welcome.

So far I've got a mk1 GTI and 325 e30 on the list.

Mk3 Toyota Supra Turbo and a big tub of swarfega? Actually, you should get a really decent one for £2k these days.

Right, maybe I need to define my idea of cool.

Nothing chavy or associated with that scene, understated, maybe a bit older. Dont care about power, only looks for this purpose.

e30s Ive looked at so far seem okay for that money.

Yes! This is the inspiration that I'm after.

The Saab makes the shortlist.

Cooler than a penguin sucking on a Trebor mint in the arctic. OP, buy it!

Hmmm... One of the best sounding V6s ever or the 2.0?

You're braver than me if you buy that one though.

A friend had a 2.0 and blew a hole in the block, completely unexpectedly. Put's me off a bit. Nice car though.

Would love a v6. Is the 3.2 gt a bored out version of the same engine as it does sound beautiful?
