I want a toy... for £1k?

Not really kit car related... But..

I fancy something fun to drive for a bit... smallish with a turbo would be good..

Can anyone suggest an interesting car that I could buy for around £1k? A bit of summer fun?

200SX - S13 - 172bhp and RWD.

Should get one for £1k

I loved mine

Yup - I would second that, can even get a decentish S14 (200bhp) for that money.

4 locosts? Diesel sierra donor gives you the turbo.

I know it's above your budget, but since when has anyone ever stuck to a budget on this forum?

Also above budget, but fits the small and turbo'd criteria pretty well!

On a more serious note, what about a 1.8 Mazda Mx3? They're small, and a have a teeny V6 engine?

ARGHHH... My eyes.. that thing is hideous!


The MX3 would be cool.. but its only a 1.8 V6 with 135Hp... not really that much...

650cc, 100bhp, 4 selectable wheel drive.......possible donor though for another project.

you can have my 1989 MK1 MR2 for a grand

A Toyota celica gt4 is quite a fast car, 200hp, 4wd. A 1990 - 93 would be within budget.
