How about a Reliant Scimtar?  ::)  It seems like good condition ones are like rocking horse do doos, so if a decent one could be found it might be a good investment and pretty cool too!  8)

He looked at one of them ages ago, about the same time as his TVR apparition.

As far as I'm aware the TVR S3 is still for sale. No surprise with a £3950 asking price for a far from resolved motor car.

I quite like the Alpina BMW. The one with the 4.6 litre lump in the handsome E39 body. These are pretty rare.

£8-£10000 buys something just that little bit different. :y

.....or I could spent £10000 on a Daewoo like a certain OOF member. ::) ::) ::) ;)

Lets hope whatever you buy costs the same to run as my daewoo. But I very much doubt it.

So do I. ;D ;D

I will probably end up with a another money pit like the CLS.

I have form. :-\ :'( :'(

BMW 850 is more of a moneypit than a 928, crazy electrics ! I've been in a few 928's and they are gorgeous, brutal buggers  :y

It was in the brief M'lud!  ;)  ;D

Anyhoo, these are a bit 'Boy Racer' but get the right one and I reckon they're properly mental!  Struggling with the budget to get a good one but you'll get my 'drift' !  ::)

Gentlemen, I give you the Nissan Skyline!  8) :y

I was looking for a Lancia Beta earlier but couldn't find one in budget.  :-\  So the Gamma's good!  :y

Riley Elf is cool!  8)  but I just can't see Lord Opti swanning round Lincolnshire with his elbow out the window in that somehow.  :-\

Triumph Stag is a contender! and would be a proper Moneypit too!  :y  Yours is over budget though Al.  ::)
