When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

Very cheap as the 'real' porsche crowd consider them an audi. Descent weight distribution and correct wheel drive.
I am
considering one of these. They have alot of parts from VW so part are pretty cheap and you may be able to get classic car insurance if the car is over
15 years old which most are.
My mate had one and he loved it. As said, plenty arround and they are one of those cars that see to go on forever providing they are looked after and
regularly serviced.

I got my MX5 for £2k and a hardtop for £400.
It's got uprated suspension and extra chassis bracing - and air con.
It's a jap import.
Red line is 7k and it's not slow.
Very easy to drift as well.
There's a few track day instructors that use them for the training cars.

And of course an engine from a 200SX would later make an ideal upgrade from a Pinto

Must be my age now I'm 30 but why do you need something sporty???
I hate slow cars but I find that I have the 7 for fun, and I race as well, the biggest priority is for something comfy, that can tow well and is
powerful.
I currently have a £750 1993 BMW 740i
0-60 in 7 sec, tows 1600kgs legally and easily, very comfy. Downside it drinks a bit but hey ho!!
I'd take a close look at some of the bigger engined beemers, they cost peanuts to buy now, so you can spend the rest of your budget on fuel!
On the capri front, my bro sold the 1600 laser he had for £2700 two weeks ago.....................
Retro RWD is the way forward...........automotive fabrication, car restoration, sheetmetal work, engine conversion
retro car restoration and tuning
