Go for a UK Turbo 2000, 1997 as this is when the models were facelifted, so better front bumper and bonnet and come with buckets seat interior. Should be able to find plenty in your price range, just sold my 97 for 6K.

excellent.Anything i should watch out for when buying 1 second hand?

ISTR that 1998 was when reasonable brakes arrived(?) Could be wrong though. I also seem to recall that bigger wings arrived in 1998 which I always though detracted from the Q car image.

Vindaloo.
