What Classic...

[J4CKO]

What car with a twist,

Up to ten grand, classic insurance, could live outside, dosent depreciate, preferably even free road tax, can it be done, sod the fuel economy !

You might be able to get a 80's 911. It might not be in the best condition however..

A piece of american muscle? my trans am 455ho bull nose fits all those requirements....especially 'sod the fuel consumption"

Pretty much mutually exclusive. Anything old kept outside is going to suffer over time and so loose value unless heaps of money spent on keeping it in top nick. But if you want to give it a go anyway (don't blame you ) how about then one of these (may need slight haggling for budget)?

How about this? And a couple of grand left for problems you find when you get it home....which you will with any classic!

I like this a lot. How about a Bentley Turbo R? Or an E30 M3?

[christofmccracke]

A bentley or a rolls would be my choice

If i had ten grand to spend, it would be the best model of one of these 10k could afford.

You WILL make money (after you have spent a bit) and be wafting around in the coolest car going.

Much though I love the DS, it is distinctly a car of two ends - a stunning front one and an ugly rear one. You never see the butt photos. It always used to puzzle me why they got the back end so wrong.

An old Benz of some sort. Maybe a Mercedes SEC (coupe) if economy doesn't matter to you.

For £10,000 one could buy a mint Rover Mini cooper 500 for that money

Aston DBS. The last David Brown car.

I like its butt...I think its in-keeping with the rest of the car.

This looks a nice one and while they do depreciate, they don't if kept nice and are the right colour:
