Well it might help if you tell us what you DON'T like. Then we wont go over the same ground.

Some questions:
Does it have to be a Ford?
Are you alright or insurance?
F or R WD
Hatch or Saloon?

Come on son, work with us here

FRSTs are also good choices.

for my money though

Mk1 XR2 or Mk3 XR3i. Ł1500 should get you a pretty good one, and you've got some money left over for mods/repairs.

Decent cars, cheap to run, and rare. Which counts for a lot to me.

Non Ford options include
Pug 205GTI 1.9
Golf Mk1/2/3 GTi
