The SLK and RX-8 for £2K are serious cars for the money, but are more than likely to burn your wallet in repairs and servicing. The GTV is a good looking car, but check the floor pan. Best looking car for £2K? Maybe an Alfa GT, but again, check the floor pan!

Best looking £2k car has to be an XK8/XKR, plus a few others from this list like the TT or those from pricier videos (e.g. RCZ). There are more rogue choices out there too, like the Laguna Coupé which is actually pretty tasty, even if it's not a great car. I'm also assuming auction sites would be cheating, since there are a few nice things with low starting bids, but they won't go that cheap! Also saw a Morgan for a few hundred on a site exclusively dedicated to car sales...apparently they're fine with that being a real car or a pedal car though 😄

I have an Alfa GTV 3.0 V6 and it is the coolest thing on the road (in my neighborhood anyway). As you said, not in the sub 2k price band, but I urge anyone who can afford it to go for 3.0 V6, it is a complete joy to drive and far more reliable than people may assume, oh, and in black with well spec'd alloys and a decent exhaust they look and sound amazing!

Enjoyed this one. I am on my third 916 Twin Spark spider (my 7th Alfa) it is the phase 1 and I went for that purely because of the shocking electric roof on my phase 2. It doesn’t perform as well as my F Type obviously but with the roof down and the sun out it puts as a big smile on my face, plus of course it’s an Alfa, which you either get or you don’t and I just do as I think you do too?!

Great video, JB. 👍🏽Your picks are spot-on, especially the Audi TT. I got lucky with a silver 3.2 bought online from Copart. I kept it for a bit then sold it for a small profit; however, I still kick myself for selling it. I'm curious, though, why didn't you include the Mazda MX-5. Don't you have one? 🤔
