Exciting Cars (£5k - £10k)

[elvismiggell]

Thanks to BeirutTaxi I've been greatly enjoying the Exciting Cars (£1k - £5k) thread.

But it got me thinking. What about a slightly higher price bracket? I know we could keep repeating this ad-infinitum, but I'm intrigued to see what the combined might of PH can come up with if the price bracket were a little higher - £5k - £10k.

For me it'd be something like this;

I know Mr Harris doesn't agree, but fantastic to see them starting to creep under £10k.

So come on, what would you do if you could afford that little bit more?

Just posted this in a different thread.

Great noise and performance for the money and strong residuals too.

Two replies.

Two replies was all it took to confirm this may have been a VERY bad idea...

Was the different thread "Most gopping for 6 grand"?

Ace engine, noise, performance. But I would need to be very very blind to buy that.

With this one you get to have a good drive back from Italy too.

Yet for more money people are happy to buy a new age Impreza, Focus ST, BMW. None of which are lookers and are arguably less striking.

Funny old world isn't it.

Looks nice.

It's just when you read the bit about a new clutch and service in 2012 costing £6500.

Plus it comes with over £30k of service receipts.

This sounds like the ideal thread for me, as maybe looking to swap the Elise for something else.

Subscribed.

A good Chimaera 430 or a really nice 430 BV was my first thought too.

Today I'm fancying this for something a little different;

I just can't get excited about that shape Mustang.

Pretty.

Pretty - yes, but I think the excitement would be mostly felt by your local Lotus specialists wallet when you turn up to get it serviced.

Doesn't help the guy above looking at changing his Elise. But a vx220 NA or turbo are under £10k

I'll be the first to say it, then, shall I?
