Theres a lovely Alfasud Sprint on ebay for this sort of money. Its LHD though as it has come from the South of France.

TR7 V8 luv em or hate them! They didn't all rust away and there are some superb examples about. Drives like a modern car not really a proper
Triumph as the pipe and slippers boys will be very keen to tell you. It's for the by boom generation who now have disposable cash and happy
memories . Early fixed head cars are being snapped up for historic rallying since cost of old escorts has gone through the roof.

A sorted TR8 is a very fast car!

Only problem is that the cheapest tr8 is now £10k plus!!!
Don't think anyone has mentioned a classic mini yet, 1275 clubman would be nice.

More great stuff there, like lots of them but they are either too similar to what I have (newish Alfa, Megan, Clio etc) or too large or too German for
my wife!
Thanks everyone for their input - thing I'm still hankering after a nice 3ltr S Capri:
FORD CAPRI 3.0S, ORANGE, 1981 one of the last
And as much as I love of Mini I wouldn't want my wife driving round in one, just not enough metal around you .... and the last one I had gave me
a bad back!
And that Opel Manta is amazing ... but it would need to be kept in a garage and only driven in the dry, it's far too nice!

Get the Manta and drive it every day! It's far too nice to leave in a garage!

How about this - Ford Capri Turbo Technics
Got a feeling it may go for a bit over your budget though.
This looks intersting tvr hard top wedge with the 2.8 cologne in it - a Capri with a plastic body so no rot?

TVR's too scary for my wife, but she's happy with the Capri choice and there's loads out there, so that'll be the one!
