Alright fellow Americans, imagine this, you want to move to the UK, and you need to buy a car. you figure you have about $16,000 to buy a car that you could never get here after you get a home and whatnot. Thats £9931 of spending money for your new daily. Go to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and find something and post your answers here

My answer is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! a 1976 Triumph Dolomite Sprint with 27000 miles for £7,950, or about $13,000. A bit pricy i know, but in amazing condition 15/10 would Hoon!

Obviously. It's not as clean as mine, but at 1450 pounds, there's a lot left for maintenance and mods. Plus, if HowManyLeft.co.uk is to be believed there are only 5 of these left in the UK, so there's that as well.

I would pick up one of these bad boys.

http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/us…

Its a 1980 Ford Capri GT4 LTD. Bitchin graphics too. And at only 3,495 Pounds Sterling I could get something else too (like an early 3 door RR or a cool Rover sedan or idontknowwhat) or put the extra money into making the Capri go faster!

I absolutely love Dolly Sprints. Such cool little cars, and genuine competitors to Alfa 2000 GTVs and BMW 2002s.

You'd have to be a hell of a smooth-talker, but you might be able to get this kickass Spit6 down to £10000. Maybe with sexual favours.

If not, then how's about a GT6 for £6500, or an MGB GT ripe for a V8 swap? Or, true to my name, a Biturbo ? Shame it's LHD.

Actually, who am I kidding? It'd be this GTV6 . Any day.

1972 Rover P5B fitted with a 4.6litre V8 for GBP£8,000. Because British, regal and large V8.

Also, it would appear that GTV6s are going up in price. A while ago, that one would have been £4000-£5000, not £10,000.

Not cool, I want one.

There is plenty of money left over to fix anything that's wrong or to customize and upgrade some bits if you want.

Not me.

I've been lusting after a 850wagon for a while...maybe I'll start looking for a <100k mile 850r or t5-r. Mine is at 85k miles...I wonder if I can get 2500 for it.
