Whats the least practical car you can buy for £2k?

[Benbay001]

We all know you can pick up Lotus 7 style cars for about £10k, but for £2k, whats the least practical car you can buy?
It has to be a runner, so no "This one doesnt start, that makes it very impractical."

I'll tentatively go with this XJ-S V12. It's so full of ruinous b0rk you'll never get anywhere with it.

That, or a leggy P38 RR, that's so terrible you'd have to use it as a shed most of the time.

jaguar XJRS 5.3 V12



Edit: Beaten to it.

WHAT THE fk

[Benbay001]

I should clarrify, when i meant impractical i was kinda thinking 2 tiny seats, and virtually no boot type thing. Possible a cold as fk heating system, ya'kno?
But hey, unreliable is just as good!

Mk3 MR2 (MR-S) would be a good bet - 2 seats, no boot, £2k.

How about a dutton kit car for £1750 which is on gumtree,
There's a couple on for under 2 grand on there.
Its got two seats no boot and bound to be unreliable and put together from new with cable ties and double sided sticky tape, with a clapped out sierra engine most probably with a nice pinto cam rattle on start up.
On the other hand it may be a gem which has been put together by someone with an eye for detail and OCD.

Thats more like it! Thats what i was thinking of! MOAR! MOAR!

[Vince70]

Also there's quite a few of these about for under 2 grand

Italian and nearly 20 years old its got to be recipe for disaster.

Or if your a fan of changing head gaskets how about an MG and you should should still be £1500 in pocket to spend on repairs.
I here they made a steptronic one which was really dire.

And still looking really fresh design.
You will not lose any money on these buy now and 5 years time sell for at least the same.
