£5K B-Road fun. Sell in 6 months, Lose very little !!??
Discussion
I think that sums it up reasonably well.
Basically, something fun to tide me over whilst i wait for something else to be delivered!
Doesn't need to be cheap to run or even that practical, but nothing boring.
It'll be filling a gap, so ideally i don't want to lose much when it comes to selling it in January/February time.
Any suggestions please?

When it comes to B Road fun you'd be hard pressed to beat the Twingo RS:

6 months use sounds more like shed duty to me. If you buy at 5k you'll be hard pushed to get near 4k for it in 6 months, whatever you buy. Even more so if you buy from a dealer/garage.
Of course you could go for an older, high performance car like a boxer but the risk is that it could throw up issues which will cost another 5k on top.
Maximum 2k on a MK1 swift sport would be my choice. Buy privately, then sell privately next year. Or a convertible like an mx5 or MR2 could work as you'd be buying after the summer and selling in spring.

Loads of good suggestions really
EP3 Civic Type R
8500 rpm screamer, brilliant gearbox, relatively light for the size.
Clio 172/182, maybe even a 197/200
Very light weight little cars, strong engine, the earlier ones (172/182) by all accounts feel quicker than the 197/200 but aren't.
R53 Mini Cooper S / JCW
On rails handling, character by the bucket load, punchy supercharged engine
Mk1/2 MX5
Classic RWD roadster, enough said
Any MR2
Mk1/2/3 all so different, and all equally enjoyable. Ultimately, mid-engined sports cars are not to be dismissed lightly, lovely cars to drive.
Nissan 350Z
A beefy GT car, with bucketloads of naturally aspirated torque, and a lovely noise. A special car for 5K
There are a few outliers too for a bit more money, example, Z4 Coupe 3.0Si, Integra, Mk3 MX5 with some BBR tuning, S2000, Boxster S etc
