Today's autotrader challenge: 150mph+ for £2,000
OK, here are the rules...
You can only use cars available for sale on www.autotrader.co.uk with a price no more than £2,000.
The winner is the one who can find the fastest car (top speed when new) for £2,000 only. In the event of a tie, the cheaper car wins. No modifying allowed - sorry!
I'll start the ball rolling....
BMW 735i, 1991, £1,795 here.
Any advances?

Read the rules:
"The winner is the one who can find the fastest car (top speed when new) for £2,000 only. In the event of a tie, the cheaper car wins. No modifying allowed - sorry!"
Therefore cost only overules in the event of a tie.
(Can't believe how involved I'm getting in this modern version of top sheds)

Are we absolutley sure that all the cars on this fun thread will do 150 mph?
I'm not splitting hairs here over 1 or 2mph but I'm not convinced about some of them.
