Hi,
Hello first of all as I've just joined the forum!
I've currently got a Quatum 2+2 which was until recently used as my everyday transport. I'm now looking to sell the 2+2 (give me a shout if you want one!!) and I'm going to replace it with two cars ....a fun car to be used as often as I can get away and a second boring workhorse basically just for lugging mountain bikes around (which I did with some difficulty with the Quantum!)
Anyway - what do people suggest?! I'm looking to buy a second hand car ith an absolute maximum budget of £7k, preferably significantly less. Must be fun, rapid-ish and rear wheel drive and docile, responsive handling. A drop top would be a bonus, but not essential. As I plan to use it in all weathers I'd prefer something with reasonable weather protection, but again its not the main priority.
Aside of several production sports cars, I've been thing of:
Dutton Phaeton (seem to be highly regarded and potentially quick if basic)
GTM Rossa K3 (heard a few horror stories of rear engined handling...)
GTM Coupe (see above!)
Fury/Stylus (not sure my budget would buy a good one)
Midtec Spider (if I could live with the looks and the lack of doors)
Ginetta G32 (ok, not strictly a kit....)
Can anyone think of anything I've missed and/or comment on what is there?
Many thanks. Hope everyone has a good weekend
Chris.
