Hi John,
If you are looking for somthing a bit diffrent how about a
Pontiac Fiero GT. This is a intresting 2 seat sports car.
I looked at getting one of these years ago when I was looking for
my first car. I had a insurance qoute of £800 Third party fire and
theft for a Rover 216 (remember them I think they have all rusted
away)or £800 fully comp for the Fiero.
you can get one for about £2000 or the lower model 2.5 4cly
for less.
If you want to see one check out the film Ferris Buellers day off
Its the white car Ferris's sister drives (Jennifer Gray).
All the best
Nick H (lost in the 80's)
