Creative thinking needed.....
Thinking about a car to use daily (although only low daily miles - say 8 to 20 sometimes none) Must be useable on Hoons so ideally looking for great performance. Convertible would be nice but not essential, two seats or more, must be a bit of a looker and ideally not too old. A tough find on a budget of £10 - 13K

Wadya reckon?
