What hot hatch for 1k

[Kam B]

So Im after a relic from my yoof and have around the 1k mark to spend on something that will bring a smile to my face on the weekends (oo err)

What do you suggest?

205
golf
escort
metro
meastro
montego
nova
astra
mgb?

etc etc you get my drift

[Loplop]

I think you need to double your budget otherwise most examples you'll be able to afford of cars from that list will probably disappoint.

Get a Vauxhall Nova with a 2.0 Redtop in it, there is always loads for sale for well under a grand.

Torque Steering, Wheel smoking, Car park inhabiting fun.

That one must be around year 2000, but started off mid 90's, non? Hence my comment it may be a little 'modern' compared to the wish list. But, for 1k, and a laugh, in 2.0 form they are good weekend fun.

I was thinking that as in 1k will buy me something from the 80s but pah, ones that I want are strong money

[Big Fat Fatty]

Mk5 Fiesta Zetec S?

It's something you could drive as though you're 18 again

[Kam B]

there are some good offerings in the barge/shed thread too e34 535 for 1300 smackers

I'm not suprised.
You're looking for a 30 year old car that hasn't been crashed, scrapped or rusted away.


It'd be easier to find a decent 2000 model I expect.

Worth checking out some drifty cars too

[R8Steve]

Saxo VTS

I bought one that wanted for nothing as a cheap runabout to get me to work for £1k, sold it in the same condition a year later for £800

Was a great wee car and as a weekend car to have fun in and although not on your list for me it would be hard to beat

Ibiza GTI?
