How about a Subaru SVX?
I'm really drawn to one...

I like the theory but my Dad had a really tatty one in PX a few years ago which put me off them

Plus IIRC they are quite heavy / slow (compared to what I expected from the looks / spec)

I think they'd be a great candidate for an electric conversion - it already looks space-age, imagine transplanting a Tesla drivetrain into it!

Years ago I saw a H6 swapped P1 up for sale on Autotrader for around £13k, bet that would've been interesting

Could've been this one, don't remember it being that cheap though

Oh I'm tempted, much prefer thrashing a slower car these days, not too far either.

Go get it! Before it’s up in a white background at £5995.

I wasn't expecting to see 1495 before I clicked on the link.

Got to be a bargain.

Have to agree, if kept well ,value will be double in no time.

I know people who would pay more than that for a similar age Z3 with the same engine.

I know which I would buy.

I was expecting the first number to be a 2. Very surprised at the price.

I think that it will appreciate. E36s that aren't Z3s are getting rare.

I have a strange attraction to this (but probably not at this price): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/rover-220-GTI-3-door-lo...

Interesting... mine looks considerably worse than that, but no advisories for rust!

To off-set the spaffing, that's an awful advert ('values will soar to 3500'. Right-o.) for a rather uninteresting car. Unloved when new, ever less loved now.

No thanks, my money will stay in my pocket.

This looks totally charming, and is under £2k. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1186951

Appealing. The R5 always looked better as a 2 door, but they were charming cars.
I'm biased though, as a 1974 5 TL was my first car.

Mazda 626. Retro! https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1183511

It's in North Wales. Just as well Hub Nut is in NZ or he may've been tempted. Shame about knock by the NS headlamp.

Avoid unless you have a pet welder - MOT history makes for horrifying reading
