bordering on s1 lotus elise for that money as well. Not very low on insurance, but would certainly be fun and nipyy.
£7k what would you get?

A mate of mine has just bought a 03 Plate Civic Type-R with 50K on the clock with full honda Service history for £6500 With Full ticket and 10 months tax...
Soldato
Thats a bargain though

Yeah i know... I actually drove it home about 40 miles... Was a nice car to drive... I was actually quite impressed... Didnt give me the kick or the funness of my 200SX but i was indeed happy and enjoyed driving it... If i was after that type of car i would buy one without a doubt...
How 'nippy' do you want it to be? One persons nippy is anothers slow/fast 
For something that's nippy, not fast, low ins etc I'd be looking at a Cooper, how much are the new shape Swift Sports available for now as they are good fun cars that won't break the bank.
All the hot hatches mentioned will be pricier on insurance but still won't break the bank, I've found the 172 to be cheap on insurance (but I'm becoming an old git now), good on fuel and cheap to run.

Unquestionably, I'd have another mid 90s Corvette C4. An LT1, so 300BHP and with the 6 speed ZF box.
Next question!

Toyota Celica vvti 140
Toyota reliability, 02/03 year, 140 bhp, 35 mpg average (manufacturer), but IG15 (depending on other factors, it can still be reasonable. 190bhp version IG16.

How about a bit of v8 fuel guzzling madness

I didn't bother reading the first post, just the title.
"£7k what would you get" and that's what I answered, sorry.

Not sure if Civic type-r's are down at that price if they are I would say that or the Clio.
Why are people always recommending the MX5 instead of the MR2 ?
This MX5 is for sale 1 mile from me and i went to have a look, it was nice but i prefer the MR2 looks.
MX5 for sale near me:
MR2 (google'd):
You can get good examples of each for £7k. The MX5 above is £6500. 2001 and low milage and with a hard top.
