Weekend car £50k budget

[Sk2830]

Evening, looking for a car that isn’t required to be used daily, bit of a weekend car

Ideally something that has a nice growl and plenty of power under the bonnet
Interior not too dated and something that isn’t going to depreciate too much - any recommendations would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance

I'd have thought that someone with £50k burning a hole in their pocket wouldn't need advice on what 'weekend car' to buy.

How about giving a clue to what you might want it for? Track, off road?

Something for the road - coupe potentially

Looked at a C63s and a Maserati granturismo mc

Thanks

Friend recommended an Alfa Giulia as something different but it’s over budget and although looks fun, it’s pretty ugly

Evora,exige,911,cayman,981, 4c, vantage?

Chinny-Recon antenna is bleeping.

Do you think evora, exige, 4c will hold the value over time - hadn’t really looked at the lotus tbh I’m 6ft 1 and considered them potentially too small

No cars are guaranteed to increase in value in this price bracket but Lotus have a history of holding their values well.

6ft 1 is not too large for an exige/evora.

What is your current daily?

Had a 360, then went to a 991 gts - new house,wedding, new kitchen forced sale so currently series 5 Mitsubishi pick up for daily use - just fancy something a little different - don’t fancy another Porsche as it’ll prob feel like a step down from the gts if I’ve only got £50ish k to spend

These are ideal then.

Vantage 4.7 or the best speed6 TVR you can find

I was going to suggest an Atom but then I re read your original post.

"Something with a bit of power under the bonnet"

New mustang? Checks all the boxes IMO. Looks great, interior is fine, sounds glorious. If 444bhp is enough power for you, anyway.

A mate brought round a Jag f-type R the other week, what a machine I'm not a jag guy and have always had M cars or Porsche mainly but it was fantastic in every way and changed my mind about Jaguar.

Cracking car I'd have a look at one of those myself, this was a 2016 model with 18k on the clock he was retailing it for 52k for a 550hp performance coupe, I think that offers value against what that would get you from Porsche.

Don’t bother, it will be too extreme for you and you won’t appreciate it.
