Default A cage with character

Well I am very sad to admit that the time has come when I need to buy a cage. I have got about £5k to spend. I could get something reasonably new and boring, or something a bit older with some character. By this I mean a nice Ford Escort RS Turbo, or a mk1 VW golf gti. Any sugestions?

Thats what I'd go for, always had a soft spot for them, but It would have to be totally standard or put back to standard if it had been molested.

a Capri, I've always wanted one, even though every owner I've spoken to says it handles like a double decker

Something like this, might need a bit of work but looks standard
