Classic on a budget
Discussion
You have to start with your requirements.
Motorway driving, sports car/saloon, own maintenance, era? But above all what do you fancy? Classics are rarely a sensible option you need to choose with your heart buy with your head.
MG's, Mini's and Triumph's are always popular with great parts supply but won't satisfy your itch if you really want a Rover, Jaguar or Humber.

Yeah, give us a bit to go on here, what do you like, sports cars, saloons or what? 
An MGBGT V8 would be a great car for around £8k for a really nice one.
My personal fave of sub-£10k cars at the moment though is this for just sticking it in gear and cruising about in:

You could just about have this for 10k with a bit of negotiation

. Are the 80s in there? Are you thinking 60s/70s?Captain Cadillac said:
Can you find an M635csi for that sort of money or an E28 M5?
Only thing is, on the Euro-spec cars the timing chains need to be changed around 100k miles or so.
I think the OP would struggle to find a decent one of either for sub-£10k. Decent M6s start at about £13k. And there were only about 190 RHD M5s, so they come up for sale very, very rarely.Only thing is, on the Euro-spec cars the timing chains need to be changed around 100k miles or so.
. proper useable classic = bmw 2002tii
they're getting a bit keen on price now.
what about going for soemthing currently on the cusp like an e21 323i? arguably more modern than an e30 in many respects but more old skool styling etc.
must be able to get an awesome one where a nerd has replaced all the chrome etc and polished it all left right and centre for 6 grand (non??)

£10k's gotta be a bit steep though, possibly if it was a really nice 100 Coupe, but a saloon?
