Here's the scenario.
My uncle Ron, who is actually responsible for lighting my Lotus interests, since i got to spend a lot of my childhood screaming round the Uk in his S2 Esprit, is now needing to change his car.
Currently he has a lovely G60 Corrado (which he's had for years), but its time for a change, and its done about 140k miles!
Now, he has 2 205 GTi's, one for off road racing, one Mi-16 for track stuff (and yes, he sometimes forget to yeild to Elises at AMP3 trackdays!). This car won't get much use at trackdays........he claims
He is very mechanically talented, so has the ability to maintain and run most cars
Now the challenge.........
The budget is to a max of £20k (but I'm sure my aunt would be delighted if he didn't spend that much
The cars criteria;
Must have rear seats (other wise he'd be buying an Elise) - for my little cousins
Must have some rarity to it
Must be a good drivers car
Not too silly mpg, although this might mean the fireblade gets more use
So far the list has contained;
RS4/S4?
DB7
M3/M3 Cabrio
M Coupe – rare as – from £10k
New Focus ST3
Lotus Carlton
Merc CL500
C class c270 CDi and an Elise
C32 AMG
RX8
Nissan 350Z – could be an awesome solution?
911 996/993
Boxster S (caymans all wrong side of £30K)
Tvr Cerbera (AND USE THE BIKE!)
Golf R32/GTI
New Scirroco
Edit - Adding Evo, Monaro, XKR, S-type R, Skyline, NSX (busy lunch time
So what am i missing, what have you do/had, and what would you recommend?
Looking forward to the reponses on this one
