I'm in the process of flogging my old, faithful Golf GTi because I'm in the mood for something a bit older. I have a few problems.. I'll only have about £500 to spend, and I'd like something taxed and tested I'd like something fairly quick and preferably rear wheel drive but I'd like it to be fairly reliable and comfy as it'll be my only car
I've owned and enjoyed the following and would like to get my grubby mitts on something similar, but don't think I'll be able to find a nice example of any for the money..
Mercedes 280TE Jag SIII 4.2 Granada 2.8i Ghia X Granada 3.0 Ghia / GXL Vauxhall Royale / Monza / Senator 3.0 Capri 3.0 Rover SD1 V8 Rover P6 V8 (but the vapourisation problems are a bugger) Triumph 2500S BMW 528i Alfa 75 Sierra XR4x4 or 4x4 Ghia Estate
Am I in cloud cuckoo land? I've bought tidy examples of all of these (apart from the Vauxhall or Triumph) in the past for £500 or less, but I suspect the prices have risen on all of them.
Even a Cortina 2000E 2.0 S or Ghia would be nice (I'm a dab hand at void bushes)
Suggestions welcome.
