First car project car

[Kyle v8]

Hey, im looking at buying a project car for my first car, i would like something small engined (1.0L to 1.5L) but reliable. my budget is £500-£750. Ive had a look at a couple of cars but theyre either too expensive or too big of an engine.

cars ive liked:
Saab 900 turbo
volkswagen beetle (classic)
mazda mx5 (Mk2)

Some help would be great thanks.

You checked insurance quotes first? The Bug might be a smart idea because seeing as you'll need a black box there's no point being tempted to go quick.

yeah i checked insurances and the bug is the cheapest out of them all just finding one thats salvagable is hard, beetles are one kf my favourite cars. The mazda was way too much for a first car, the beetle was around £1400 per year without black box for insurance which i think is not bad.

Go for the Bug. Ask around VW forums for examples.
