I currently have a 205 rally car, it’s an xs, the little 1360cc twin choke carb version. But, you can’t take it for a sunny Sunday or evening drive, it’s an out and out rally car these days, with bucket seats, harnesses, solid mounted everything, squealy competition brakes etc.
So what else is out there that could be a summer/nice weather car that might possibly appreciate in the future and be a potential good investment? I’m thinking for a blast over the hills/mountain roads, hot hatch probably.
I’d love a classic mini but they’re too dear already, and full of rot, I just don’t want something that needs a roll of mig wire chucked at it. I’d also love a tidy 205 gti but they’re about £4k for a decent one already, same goes for the Williams Clio, and 106 rallye’s – they’re rare already and decent ones fetch a premium.
I don’t mind doing some work to a car, mechanical stuff and tidying up is fine, but I don’t want to have to be welding/respraying it, I want something I can use, and might just go up in value.
Clio 172 CUP is on the list, MX5 sort of, what else?
