I'm on the look out for a cheap-ish car:-
Japanese. Quick or with tuning potential. Can be scruffy but must be mechanically sound.
Max price £1000.

The car's for my son. I passed on the info, thanks, and he's chewing it over. To be honest, I don't think he'll go for it.

Thanks. Both cars are contenders.
Need to add 20% to the budget, though, just to look at them. We don't normally get to Scotland more than once every couple of years, more's the pity.

I showed him Benny's post and he loved the car (as do I).
Help him out? He's had 9 cars and 3 bikes so far, and he's not yet 23.
I need the grand for my own cars!
