£8k budget , will do less than 8k miles per year , must look drop dead gorgeous .

What would you be looking to test drive ?

If i get my way (and a bigger driveway and an influx of cash) a Volvo Amazon with a 960 turbo lump in it will be happening.

EDIT: Just looked at that link and they take Credit Cards and I have 0% for 12months and and sufficient credit limit... uh oh

Bad Wwaswas! its allready temptation enough!

There have been a couple of nice Volvo S60R's knocking around on ebay etc recently which I would be tempted by if I didn't already have one.

300bhp / 400Nm, All Wheel Drive, 4pot brembos, Ohlins designed active chassis with monroe electronically controlled suspension and 0-60 in 5.4secs. Plus all the comfort of a big ol' volvo to boot.

I like the bmw 3 series auto vogue coupes, I've seen a 325i in your price range. My wife thinks they look boy racer... I like them though.

You gave no more information on practicality and such so have a ForTwo Brabus convertible.
