Good condition/newer S14a 200SX?
Old-middle aged mk4 Supra TT or newer mk4 Supra NA?
Mint Fiat Coupe Turbo's are going for £3K...

Depends what you're after. Style, power, handling, street cred etc.

Plenty of cool cars for under 6k. Not an original but one of the 90's Mini Coopers.

I paid £6k for this



2001 GTV V6 24v lusso with red momo leather 80K miles.
I have had it for about a year, it has just turned 90K miles and I am very happy with it.

TVR Chim but tread carefully. E34 M5 also gathering some retro cool points, might even find an E30 M3 around there if lucky.
