Sorry pal, cheapest buletproof car I could find...

Failing that, can't go wrong with another Focus or Mondeo. Maybe a Volvo V70? I've heard good things about them.

volvo v70 classic tdi. excellent bodywork, brilliant fuel consumption, audi 5 cylinder turbo diesel engine (much better than later d5 model) loads of room, comfy and an excellent car to travel in whilst fetching cosworth bits and pieces. most have air con and cruise control. i have had 3 in 10 years and only fault is tca's only last around 3 to 4 years but Ł60 each new (volvo). never had any other problems.
