A certain member of this forum recently bid on, and lost, a car that was very sensible money. And though not what I would go for; was nevertheless an interesting choice.
As such, and not a Morgan

, what car would you buy for say £20k maximum (negotiable of course). It can be modified if required...
I will start with this:

Brings out the 'boy racer' in me. I know someone else who might just also agree (what do you say Aeroman??)
OK I'll own up, as some of you know as well as large V8's I also like cars with small high-revving engines and consequently, I have always fancied one of these
For those of you who don't know what it is here's the
Wiki page, but there was some funny bidding and I lost it; though I am still on the lookout for one.

Whilst I also like Fast Ford's and have had quite a few in the past, including RS 1600, RS Turbo, Escort RS Turbo, RS 500 and several Sapphire and Sapphire 4x4's (yes, I did own a Ford Dealership at one time!) I do not like the photo of the Escort above as it is too chav-tastic for me. This is more to my own taste, the
Ford RS1800, though personally I do prefer the original RS 1600; even though these days it is not as iconic.
Nice thread though Boshly, I'm still thinking about what I would buy within your budget
