Any decent portable recorder that can capture 24bit WAV will do the job admirably. Whats your budget mate?

I've still got my 2009 Creative Zen Mozaic 4GB MP3 player which has sound recording capability. Better than a dictaphone imo but not WAV-level quality. It's really small though, smaller than in this picture. I would say it's about 5cm long, so fits snug in a shirt top pocket.
The mic is far more important than the recorder.
Cheap-ish recorder, and a decent mic plus wind cover (dead cat) to go with it for anything outdoor/ car related.
24-bit wav files will do absolutely nothing for wind noise.

The Zoom range are go-tos in the industry. Grab a fluffy for any exterior stuff.

Tascam are well respected too.
I've got one of these, does a good job and the sound quality is perfect.
Here's a quick sample I recorded when I was changing exhausts over on my last bike.
Sony ICDPX333.CE7 4GB PX Series MP3 Digital Voice IC Recorder https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00BOK931C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_NDAzybJBSK8ZQ

Doing a quick search you can get a Shotgun microphone, boompole and deadcat for like £75 on the river place. Plug it into a laptops line-in or other suitable recording device and it'll be better than any crummy personal recorder but it depends on your budget and what you even want the recordings for.
Well thats the sort of info I need
If I said budget circa £100 for all that, what would you recommend? Or would 100 not cover it?
