That doesn't make sense.

He could pick up a classic for £4k or a 2006-07 for £13k ...

I don't think you'll get a deffinate answer on this, everyone has a diffferent opinion.
For me, an RA, with 500bhp would be mental, they weigh less than the new age by 300-400kg, so free power to weight. But, thats just me......
