More inspiration required

As per the other thread narrowing on the sensible option for the family but I’ve only been doing about 4000 miles a year in the Clio 200 and now had it 3 years so might be an opportunity to get something older but a bit more special.

Budget up to 10K and must have 4 seats. Prefer it wasn’t a money pit but it’s only going to do a few thousand miles every year.

It was the Maserati comments on the other thread that made me realise it was time to do something a bit different.

I’m looking on PH for you Will…nothing worthy of you yet bud.

Dude you can live out your Maserati dream. I think these are super reliable and literally never go wrong ruinously ever…not ever.

You’re gonna like this…

Funnily enough just been looking at that as well :clap: Been there done that though, had a couple of 1.9 GTIs including one stripped and caged for track use.

If it was a Maserati would have to be a 3200 with the Boomerang lights. I hear they are a model of reliability as well :astonished:

BMW M5 cars for sale - PistonHeads UK but would seem like I was copying someone on here.

Something like this would be fun if it would start on a cold morning:

Pretty sure the rest of the household would thing I’d gone nuts.

Yeah I was gonna suggest an E39. Don’t let the fact I’ve got one put you off :smiley: They are properly awesome cars,…happy cruising about but proper quick and lairy when the mood takes you. I love mine :sunglasses:

Sorry

Love that, been having bad thoughts of buying something similar :mrgreen:

Yeah but not really a Mexico replica… Its just a Mk2 with alloys and twin 40’s

I had been looking at full on Mexicos and RS2000s, whilst a cheap imitation, still a nice car. Must be hard to find nice 2 doors shells these days

I still wish David (Mr Admin) had sold me his :frowning:

Will if you’re seriously considering a '39 you can borrow mine for a bit if you wanna see if it fits your needs. I do have one of the nicest in the country though so it might be a bit of an expensive move :smiley:

Plenty of mk2 escorts being brought in from south Africa, as, etc with no rot. Chunk of money tho for something 30 plus years old with 90hp!

How about a Monaro? Late ones with the Corvette engine. Simply add a supercharger when it’s not quick enuf. And Ben may see the error of his ways!

Supercharger you say? Two can play at that game…

Click this if you need 600bhp :sunglasses:

Good call, I can actually see Will in this and its in budget!

Bolt a couple of seats for the kids in the Ute bid and you’re good to go…YEEEEHAAAWWW :smiley:

That’s cool - a TME and its white :sunglasses:

They have some other nice stuff too.

Have you considered a JDM Honda Integra DC5 or Civic FD2?

Ben
That kit will probably cost as much as the whole car that John suggests!!

Pah! I laugh at your measley 600hp.
