Best 10k investment car

[Mike Scott]

Guys need some advice for the best investment car for around £10k ish. Can go up by a few more if needed

The main purpose will be for the car to hold its original purchase price enabling me to sell at a later point without financial loss any increase welcomed but not essential as the satisfaction will come from driving the car on the odd occasion.

I have convinced the wife that its a better place than just leaving in the bank.

Any suggestions welcomed

S1 Elise would be a good bet.

[moribund]

Elise S1 surely

Clio v6?

[Mike Scott]

Thanks, couldn't see any db7's around budget but good call.

An old 911 would be interesting!?

Know nothing about lotus Elise. Any spec I should be looking for? Are the mileage sensitive?

Any other tips?

That would be my choice with maybe a Sapphire Cosworth just behind.

Find me one. I'll have it.

Reference the Clio v6 - does phase 1 or 2 matter? Prefer lights on 2 but need to remove my taste and look at investment.

Vx220t could be interesting for the summer months.
Like the idea of a tvr but don't know enough about the not to get caught short!

This was my first thought - 60s- early 70s mustang/camaro/mopar, provided its not a rotbox I don't think you'll go far wrong.
