Most impractical car for £10000?

[helpimcrap]

Hi,
Toying with the idea of a Vauxhall Monaro VXR which i'd have to go into debt for.

In the mean time I'm now toying with the idea of a bike engined kit car.
Ideally one with Hayabusa/ZX12R motor and is Caterham style.

I don't have kids, I don't do shopping etc so it can be totally impractical.

Have £3-4k and can borrow a bit i guess.

Edit - criteria - has too be quick. running costs not much of an issue as it would only be used for max of 8k miles a year.

Good call.

peel p50

Bad call..... hadn't ever heard of that but figured anything with Peel in the title would be iffy...

Why not just buy a bike-engined kit car?

Not practical, fast, running costs not an issue?

Here you go, all you'll ever need.

obviously remove the stupid Mclaren badge

So get an original Monaro then which is pretty much the same but under £10k.

Job done, /thread.

Westfield.

Can't get more impractical than that for £10k.

For extra points get one with an aeroscreen.

You're not a true petrol head until you've owned a Seven style car.

If you've got £10k, make me an offer (I'll say no by the way!).

While the 500 suits me its really not that fast at all, they weigh a lot

Spend £700 on a direct access course then get a sports bike.

Hate to be that guy, but why not just get something practical and put the rest to good use

Pretty sure it was helpimcrap who had a life changing bike accident !

Assuming this is a one off amount of money (savings) I would rule out the things that are going to cost a fortune to run or maintain . Personally Would probably be looking at a cheap track car for the most fun , keep the rest of the money for associated costs

1880kg, and the engine only makes 306HP (326HP after a very cheap remap only).

 

[antijoke]

That SL is fantastic for £10k.

OK, apart from the hideous Mclaren badge and alloys, but still.

They are one of the cars I dream of owning, and one day soon I will have one.

Its not great for £10k, they are available loads better than that for £10k now.
