Hopefully will have sold the S2000 in the next week or two so need a 'bridge' car until I can find the Westfield that I want (there are few of them on the market at the mo and I wanna get the right one - 2.0L jobbie ).

So in between selling the Honda and finding me a westie, anyone got any suggestions for a car that's cheap, fun or luxurious (either will do), and most importantly, easy to sell in a few months when I've (hopefully) found me a Westie.

Had a Mk2 Golf gti 16v before so am possibly thinking of an 8v. Possibly a 205 1.9 but they're harder to find I guess.

If you're looking at a golf 8v , take a look at an Ibiza 2.0 8v 115bhp .. great little cars , i had one ,on a 16v now.

You'll always sell a MK2 16v mate!! I'd go for one of these, they are reliable enough as well...

How about the Carlton GSi thats on the For Sale Forum, for 400quid, it would be a RWD laugh for little outlay, and in fair comfort too!!

Cheers,

Exclamation

I know it will be called a hairdressers car, etc....

But what about a Mazda MX-5?

Rear wheel drive, cheap due the weather, sell for a profit in the summer!

Chris P1 - I saw that and was tempted! However, it's probably a bit overkill for what I want and a little more than I can really afford. Basically after a 2.0l pushing around 180/190 that's easy to maintain. Weekend use and some track work rather than an all out track monster

Dracoro it sure is a monster thats for sure Sounds like you are doing the right thing as that Cosworth car did take a lot of looking after,sooooooooooo fast though A Zetec powered car would be as easy to run as any Ford i would think.
