10k classic/cool toy car budget

[jason61c]

Another one of those threads but not quite the norm.

10k to spend.

Its got to be a classic, either an old one or modern. Fun to drive, its only going to be used as a toy. Not something i'm going to loose ££££'s on. I don't care about fuel bills.

So far i'm thinking

240z
z3m coupe

any other ideas?

[kambites]

Caterham.

[Rocksteadyeddie]

Elise. Won't be as depreciation proof as a Caterham, and is slightly less raw but still a riot.

[mike9009]

Elise, vx220, esprit, cerbera, ........

[SlimRick]

Cerbera all the way

[jason61c]

I had the GKD legend that was on here so a caterham would be a no for me, going from an m3 engined kit car to one that had the sort of engine/tech that a 10k caterham would have wouldn't be much fun!

[kambites]

Well if you're an "engine" kind of person, probably a TVR then.

[FreeLitres]

Get a TVR. Test drive one and you will see.

(I love Elises too though!)

Well engine/looks/handling

I did think about the Cerbera but they're not quite what i'm looking for.

Most definately the 240z. Great engine to begin with but for more poke a nice RB would drop in nicely

[Carlos Harper]

M635CSI?

[cat220]

How about something like a porsche 968CS or Sport?

[down4whatever]

C3 Corvette?

[jason61c]

This is a 240z that's top of my radar...

[Bullett]

911?

[kambites]

How about a Triumph GT6?

[jason61c]

I like the thought of a 968 or even a 911, i'm just not overly 'up' on my porkers. I guess it'd be a 964 model 911? Are the 968's getting more interest now?

That's beautiful. Do it! Buy it now!

My plan is to spend under my budget then get a tatty gt6 to fit an e36 328i engine and drivetrain to as a long term project.

Go to a big classic auction like Brightwells and see what you fall in love with? I went to a HVA auction earlier this year not planning on buying anything and ended up leaving with a car this...



...It was sat there all shiny and purdy . A trip to Brightwells last time was an overload for me


Sorry this is PH so an MX-5 is the obvious answer surely??
