Gentlemen
I have some specific needs for a car.
must be available for 4-5k with 50k on the clock.
not bothered about age (up to mid/ late 90's really), insurance, looks, mpg.
Must have around 300bhp, 5 seats, be interesting.
Currently legacy gtb is of the list, mistubishi VR4 is very similar but higher servicing cost. I have driven both and the pace, space, costs are spot on.
Any other suggestions
love you.

I could go to a little more for a good one, but I don't want to borrow anything. Evo is tempting, as are some old skylines, pulsars. But it needs also to be fairly 'chavless'

Some great suggestions, S8's are available but only with mega mega miles.

lexus gs300 with 2JZ-GTE (supra) engine, might not be the quickest thing posted in this thread, but will be the most luxurious and comfortable
