you could get a really good Saab 900 Turbo 16 for that money. An excellent one. In fact, you could spend half of it on the car and half of it on mods to give it more power :-) Loads of power, easy to get more out of, good handling and fun fun fun when that turbo comes in with a bang. Stick it on classic insurance as a 2nd car, cost me £180 a year fully comp..

I agree with mike. And if you want it for a plaything rather than a daily driver, try to find a T16 2 door rather than a hatch. It is lighter and stiffer. Boot is a good size, but not the monster that the hatch has.

Capri. Nice MK1/3 V6. Handle OK with simple mods and they'll frighten the shit out of you but in a good way.

Dirt cheap to insure...£130 FC for a 2.8i V6 on Classic?

Almost £3k for an old AX GT with a shitty TU3S single carb motor? What a waste!

Better

Not bad

Very cool!

Get someting new instead!

My choices in your situation: SD1 V8 Capri v6 XR4x4 2.9i with money left for a turbo or 2 BMW 325i with LSD
