'Originality'. Yeah, that's it. £12,495 of original stone chips.

Ah, the wise guy can also read.

Nobody is making you buy it and I'll be interested to see which rust bucket you go for.

Are mk2 Golf GTI's really worth that much now? I saw one on autotrader the other day for 10k. :confused:

I haven't chosen my car yet, just cant decide.

As you said ignore the stupid price, I'll take the 205 1.9 GTI please.

Everything I want in a car, perfect!

Cheap to run & mega chuckable fun.

Fun to drive, easy to maintain, and not going to cost the Earth at the pump.

E30 M3 is over budget

I would cry and go buy the GT 5 turbo and a Turdberry hat with the remaining £5 to suit.

205GTi for me

Would love this: http://www.4starclassics.com/BMW-635-CSi-For-Sale-6/

I've always wanted a 6 series, just a cool cruiser.

But since I live in the city this will do: http://www.4starclassics.com/renault-5-gt-turbo-for-sale/ Small, nimble and fun.

Tough choice between some of the 7 series and the 190 Cosworth for me.

No, not unless you're absolutely mental. Great cars, but i'd just pick up an £800 8v

Clarkey · 13 Mar 2012 at 19:20

Not a lot of choice is there. I'd have the E34, always liked them, wanted one years ago.

panthro · 13 Mar 2012 at 19:26

Id take the E34 M5 3.8.

Scania · 13 Mar 2012 at 19:29

I'd have had that e38 a while ago bar one small detail......

Yes, the price!

Plenty of others there on the all time wish list, but not as a daily drive & within the price limit.

If forced I'd take the W140!

Frozennova · 13 Mar 2012 at 19:36

The 190 Cosworth or the R5GTT.

Would be the golf but I know I could buy a g60 for similar money, if I could spend the money somewhere else then it would be a mk2 Golf Rallye.

xBLiNG · 13 Mar 2012 at 19:37

MERCEDES 190 2.5 COSWORTH

Would take the E46 CSL if I could though.

Fr0dders · 13 Mar 2012 at 19:40

190 Cosworth for me as well.

Always wanted one, though if i was spending that much on one it wouldn't be white and would be a 1.6.

I had one (well 4 in total) as dailies, they were great cars and the only marque I've ever actually been emotionally attached to, I would love to own one again. Thanks to Fox I now can

233 · 13 Mar 2012 at 20:13

i would beg Fox for the extra 5k and have that E46 that stirs something in my nether regions c'mon fox give me another 5k and i'll crush one of the vectras

other than that the R5GTT, had one back in the 90's and they are epic comedy gold. the only car i've ever owned that was less reliable than my 205gti that got me blacklisted from the RAC

[TW]Fox · 13 Mar 2012 at 20:13

Everyone would just pick the CSL, thread would suck, thus budget chosen so that CSL is out of budget
