I had to google the NC 500 just to see what it was all about. I assume you're cycling it?

In which case this is what you want, and that's the end of the thread.

And leaves you £2k for beer

Leaves you £1.5k, assuming you pay asking price.

On PH and not heard of the 500? Is that why you picked the wrong car for the job?

Easy it's a CLK500 Sport

CLK500 would be good for the drive up but awful on the tiny roads on much of the 500.

Small roadster or a small hatchback is the ideal weapon on these roads.

That's why i opted for the clio trophy however you'd get a nicely sorted mini cooper s for 5k with upgraded pulley for more torque than the clio trophy .

Something small you can chuck in a hedge or squeeze into a passing place is going to really useful on the single track roads.

BMW 130i would work for me!
