Exciting Cars (£1k - £5k)
Discussion
We have the barge threads for big lazy yachts but no threads for cheap, second hand and exciting cars.
I don't know whether this thread will kick off or not but I thought it's worth a try. Too much diesel and sensible drizzle floating around on PH these days.
This looks like an interesting buy, although I wonder if the price is correct?

£2795
Edited to add: Some ground rules:
A) No boring or ordinary every day cars. For example a Golf or 5 Series diesel doesn't qualify no matter how many horses are under the bonnet. However good hot hatches (e.g. 106 Rallye) are great candidates.
And that's it. I doesn't need to be fast, just the sort of car you give a second look at after you've parked it in the garage on a Sundays evening. Fun and special to drive.

How about a TVR S3 for £3000. Would be difficult to get such a large smile for less with included wind in the hair motoring. Perfect for the winter ahead
May be a bit biased though as I have the V8 but that's definitely outside of the thread budget.

1-5k is a pretty big scope of budget, plenty of hot hatches fit in that budget, if you like retro, MK2 Golf GTI. I would go and find a Clio 172 CUP like my little sister runs, refresh the suspension, and Moreago remap to 202BHP. Should be enough left over in the 5 grand for tax and insurance.
let's get this going like the barge thread....when we post up ideas to cars, post an advert too ![biggrin](/inc/images/biggrin.gif)
