Spazcruiser or Mitsi Spacewagon. Both of these could look the spaghetti sauce if they had some small inch, deep dish rims & some subtle J touches! Plenty room, cheap to buy, nice to drive, especially with a slush box & very, very few get the treatment.

norm - youre not allowed to have under 12s in the front, and you aint seen the size of my sub box. nearly fills the 230 boot. ;D skuds sre cool though. ratdat - cool as. daveyboy - as above. seth - id love a yank, but a little on the thirsty side if it aint on lpg. pog - those had crossed my mind, along with 605 turbo diseasels. b and d - i had an e28, binned it in favour of a w123. ash - i was asking about them spaz's the other week. 7 series bims are cool but i prefer my benz's. which tbh, is what il probably end up going for. a nice selection for me to investigate though. thanks.

Make it so. ;D 2, 2.5 litres, 4 speed Overdrive, 3 speed autos, great noise, tough as old boots, cheap to run, return 20-30mpg, easy to mod, like the slammage........and availiable in kitsch estate form! ;D Oh and you'll get an absolute BEAST of one for your budget ;D

^^^^^ Hell yes!!! I've been having Triumph 2000/2.5 thoughts myself lately, they seem to have survived so well over here.... I had this thought of buying one and slamming it over one of my sets of J rims, for a totally different look.
I've got no idea what they're worth in the UK, but what about an Alfa 90? No one does Alfa 90's!!!!!
