I am planning to sell either my Capri 280 Brooklands or '69 Mercedes 280SL, so that I can make way (and raise the funds) for something else. I love cars where blistered arches distinguish the car as a 'special', and here are a few that I am considering...budget up to £25000 -what think yous?

Clio V6
RS4 B5
Lotus Carlton
Delta Integrale

I was thinking of a different kind of blistered arch...the kind you get on old Jags or E30 BMWs for example...

I don't really consider the Clio V6's arches as being blistered as they're integrated with the rest of the car IYSWIM.

....out of the options you've given I'd say the Clio V6 (though I'm biased wink ). They aren't really blistered arches though, more like massive chunks of fibreglass glued onto the side of the car.

Otherwise I'd be a Integrale for me.

I have added an Integrale to my original post as that too has been a contender for me - but briefly got lost due to an evil hangover.
