Default Recommend me a dream car

I'm hoping to have some money to waste on a car. I don't at the moment hence it's a dream.
Can't think of any use for it right now so not looking to spend too much and importantly want to keep the costs down eg tax, so if it's pre 1/3/01 reg car it needs to be less than 1549cc, after March 01, up to a band F (150g/km).
Needs to have at least 4 seats
Would like something interesting such as Puma 1.4, erm can't think of anything else

thinking around the £1,000 mark

That is the 1st and only time expect to see those words in the same sentance!

Not going to get a lot for a grand, id go for a golf. You should be able to get a Mk3 for that sort of money.

was thinking more sporty or pretence of being sporty given the cost & economy restrictions

Well said




Stu, do yourself a favour and get a late 90's Honda Civic. Just keep changing the fluids and filter and it'll see you right
