I had a conversation with a guy today who was debating what car he would buy for 10K.
Excluding 7 type kitcars.
The criteria is that it would be a weekend toy,be fast,entertianing and good to look at.It can be old or modern.
My pic was a Audi UR Quattro,but by todays standards that would probably feel slow!
What you pic
Well if you didn't exclude 7s you could build 40 Locosts.

mk 2 escort rally edition
VAUXHALL VX220 in yellow 
E46 M3

E46 M3
Lotus elise
New shape Skoda Octavia vRS in Black with all the toys
2nd hand of course
Hmmmm Depends on how good you are at negotiating
Honda NSX
elise
lancia delta intergrale evoII
70 chevelle
linky
I like that NSX,might be tempted myself if its still there!
Not wishing to offend i find Elises a bit Girlie!,i do like the VX220 though.
The Intergralle is a great car but you would always expect it to breakdown all the time.
`62 E-type............ I know it probably will go for more than £10000 , even though it's not really worth that nuch (needs a bit of work....)
I was going to say e-type but they go for WAAAAAAY more than 10k nowadays 
Or how about a Ferrari ?
Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint GT
e.g. http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/classic-car-page.php/carno/11495
With the rest of the cash for the inevitable alfa ownership issues.
e39 M5 - you can use it every day as well!
They are a proper bargain now!
Although it can mean 'lumpy' repair bills it it goes t*ts up!
Elise...
Or a big american muscle car then spend the rest of the money tuning to silly power
elise or 911
Audi S4: 4.2 V8, 340bhp, 410NM, 0-60 in 5.0secs.
you might as well sell ya locost, your tintop run around AND your track toy and buy one 
S4
Skyline R33 GTR
No, no, no you're all wrong! 
What you need is this, with some haggling:
Nice choices, all wrong unfortunately.
The answer is Porsche 968 CS.
The Elise is a bit too "hairdresser" for me
Cheers

this is very interesting, this time next year (seems an eternity at the mo) ill be buying something for this price again....
because as a rule i only ever spend £10k max on a car as ive always found there is some serious car to be had for that amount. I only ever broke that
rule once and bought an 18month old rx8 for 18500. needless to say, 10months & 10k miles later i sold it for £14k shocking, never again.
