it will be a second car, and therefore mpg etc is not important...

RX7 or MR2T have got to be top of the list.

Could get a nice SX for that money too...

Heavy
4wd
Turbo
Complicated
Old

...rearrange those into a single word which is an anagram of 'roublet'!

Big - Yep, a lot of cars are these days.
Heavy - Yep but is still quick enough and doesn't feel too heavy.
4WD - is that a bad thing?
Turbo - 2 actually - again is that a bad thing?
Complicated - They are but nothing a decent mechanic can't handle.
Old - some are but for £5k it's not bad. And it's the MK2 so has a nice shape.

They are only trouble if you buy one that has been mistreated which the one I've posted hasn't.

Obviously they aren't everybodys cup of tea but Batty obviously knows his motors judging by the job he did on his FTO so I think he'd make a monster out of a GTO.
