ive got no more than £1500 to spend and want something fun but i have a problem in that im 6'5" and i tend to find all the fun cars are a
little small on the inside.

No idea but I was thinking it had loads of headroom and you should get one with your budget
You can pick up a v8 '90' for that money these days with ease, no contest.
If you want a series Landrover you want the lights inside the wings, a proper one.
To me tintop implies daily driver which to me (at least) means a slow ass Landy is out of the running. Although I have a 70+ mile round trip to get to work, so that does influence things!
i want more of a fast ish car with a roof, not a land rover, as i said i have access to my mates,
my round trip to work is only 4 miles so most days i cycle it, i also have a 1000cc motor bike for dry warm days and want something for the rest of
the time and maybe take it on a track,
or am i asking too much from £1500
[edit] was thinking something like an mr2 but i dont think there is enough room on the inside for me

How about a VW Corrado either a valver or a cheap Vr6 for that money , cool cars!!

Pug 106 rallye
An absolute hoot.
This ones just about on budget. Cheaper ones come up.

There are plenty of Jags in the budget. Will outrun most things in standard spec
If I were buying on that budget I'd go for a Xsara VTS.
It has the Mi16 Peugeot engine so 165 HP with lots more potential and handles well as it is basically the same as a 306.
£1500 should get you a cracker.
I'm 6'3" and fit in one no probs.
This one is slightly over budget, but looks nice and probably open to offers.

What about a Renault 5 GT Turbo?
R5 GTT
Nice hot hatch. IMHO the turbo gives an extra dimension to driving it: always keeping it revved up.
For me, the downside was that after every day of fun with the car there was someting else that needed a fix 
Do a hightower. Take the front seats out of a mini.
