Part of this thread got me thinking about what sort of entry level sub 2k stuff you could pick up now.
So here is what I was working towards:
£2k absolute max price, preferably less and not a current auction price.
MOT'd and driveable.
May need a little work for perfection but not a project.
Something that would get in to RR Gathering without people batting an eyelid (so max 1998-ish, deffo no new plates)
Bonus points if a well modified (but reasonable budget) one could be found as well for inspiration
Let's start with some hatches

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1996-Honda-Civic-ek-Pre-face-lift-1-4-px-welcome-can-deliver-at-cost/143953869042
www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CITROEN-AX-spree-29000-miles-new-m-o-t/133662198314
Some 4 door family goodness (which always work well with "the treatment")

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1996-SAAB-9000-CSE-2-3-TURBO-SILVER-AUTOMATIC/265057498499
Lastly a couple of wild cards

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/suzuki-alto-1-0-gl-automatic-1997-genuine-30000-miles-only/313426219458
What else is out there that would work?
