Most fun for £6k
Discussion
Without wanting to sound like I'm trolling, it depends on what you define as "fun". One man's thrill ride (Caterham/Westfield) is another man's idea of hell on wheels.
If the definition of fun is something that would be awesome along a twisty B-road or on a racetrack, then suggestions of Civic Type-R, Caterham, Westfield, MX-5, old BMW with dicey rear tyres, etc. are bang on.
For me, when it comes to fun on the road, my definition is somewhat different.
But then, I'm a confirmed bargista, so that's to be expected.

I'll haggle for £200 off this one:

Depending on how you define fun, this could be haggleable...

Bear with me... yes, it’s a BUFF, yes it’ll cost a lot to run (and the bork potential is off the scale) but it’ll do things that most regular road users can’t comprehend - it will spin the wheels on a full bore upshift from 3 > 4 if it’s a bit wet. That’s at approx. 110mph.
No-one expects such a huge old lump to move so quickly (6 to 60, no launch control, just floor the pedal) and it can be hustled in the bends with the dynamic drive keeping it flat too. It’s like watching your Granny breakdance, it just doesn’t seem right. At the 250kph limiter (well, about 262 in actuality
), it’s impressively stable, and feels like it’d be happy to do that all day. (Got to love Arai 102 octane in DE, it’s not cheap, but it’s soooo worth it!)
You did say anything.

Why spend more when you can get a 2012 swift for under 5k https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201...

( it has higher miles and tbh could use new front brakes and a few odds and ends( I had a look when it was 5.5k and watched it be reduced over the last 3 months to under 4.8k)
Or get a good mk1 for under 3k
