the thing is though £6k was worth a lot more 20 years ago than it is now.
I paid £7k for my first saph in iirc 2000 a g reg 2 owners car 52000 miles and stage 3 and was mint.

they were the dogs danglies, it was the first cossie I ever went in and was driven by a proper hooligan drifting out of every junction lmao, when he sold it I had to have it and that's where my power hunger began 14 years ago.
if I ever had another now though it would have to be along the lines of rods but with 4x4 and air con.
