Three years can be a long time in cars. The good news is that the cars are much more affordable. The bad is that they may have been usurped by newer models. But despite new metal such as the Mini Coupe now on its tail, the Scirocco remains the best affordable sports hatch there is - and now 2008 revvy petrol models are yours from just £11,000. TE

really! an early Lotus Elan in the rain on a roundabout, are you trying to get people killed?
I think your most expensive example should of been no more than five grand. Sure some look like a bargain, but are a pain to maintain, real money pits, unless your a mechanic or know an enthusiast who knows what he's doing.
I'm not trying to be funny here, but for £2000 you can buy a 2.2 SRi 150 Vauxhall Vectra with 52 reg plate and less than 70k on the clock. Sure it's got a Vauxhall badge, not cool, but that's a lot of car for **** all.

im onto my 2nd boxster now, i realised how cheap they were getting years ago, my last was a 1997 110k miles FPSH for 5k , my latest is a stunning 2000 silver model FPSH with red leather, only 72k on the clock and a steals at 4250, stick a dateless plate on and looks like a cars 5 times the price. Parts can be bought thru various sites very reasonably priced and get to know a good mechanic that realises its just another car so he doesnt overcharge for repairs etc, by far the best car ive ever owned. Porsche service history is worth its weight in gold when you come to resell, at least make sure its stamped upto date when you get it then a good independent garage can take it from there. Lots of porsche specialist garages about aswe for the fraction of a dealer service.

I remember when you could buy a M.K. 11 Jaguar [with wire wheels] for less than £200 ! .
Some classic stuff was worth nothing in the 60s with big engines & expensive parts & servicing . I remember being told by a mechanic at the Jag. dealers - " If you can afford to service & run one properly , you can afford a new one" ! . At the prices quoted at the base of the photo's I wouldn't call any of them a bargain . And most are not family motors anyway -more like men's mid-life crisis toys .

YE GOD'S Gary!
That does seem a little insecure of you. To buy an OLD car and then re-plate it to fool people into thinking you are driving around in in something newer and more expensive is very sad?
Aim high Gary,. Be proud of who you are and what you achieve. Most of all though. KEEP BOTH FEET ON THE GROUND
I'm sure you are a really nice guy with a very bright future but trying to fool the guy's around you is not the way to get there.
God Bless and have a great 2012
