Ideas for cheap and interesting daily driver.
Discussion
G'day guys,
Just looking for ideas for a cheapish and interesting daily driver. Only criteria is that it has to be fairly interesting and be able to fit a baby and a couple of suitcases in. Reputation for reliability is desirable but not totally essential (have other cars) and would rather stay naturally aspirated if possible. Quite like stuff from the 80's so was thinking something like a Pug 405 Mi16 or something but really open to ideas. Anything upto about £5k price wise would be good.
Really suffering from a lack of imagination today!
Cheers.

Alfa Romeo 155? Good retro looks, nice fun drive and while they do need more wear and tear work (36k cambelts & go through wishbones every 60-70k or so) and the rear inner arches will need an eye kept on them, they aren't that unreliable. Cheap, too.
(Ok, they look better in red, blue or black admittedly, but this still looks nice to me)
