Recommendations for nice looking/sounding car?

[acsmyth]

Budget dependant R34 GTR gets my vote too.

As well as an RX7, Supra TT6 or an NSX.

Torque GT have an NSX in at the minute:

Torque GT - Honda NSX

 

[Boabybooster]

Any of the old GTR's values now will go up, you're right there. Not long until the R33 GTR is rife for a bit of US exporting!

Just had a google there, were none of the R GtRs LHD?

 

[andy.]

I think one of these would get my vote

2005 TVR Sagaris 4.5. Reflex Charcoal. Huge Upgrades. 38,000 miles. 2 Year Engine Warranty *

Or something jap, but you'll not turn anywhere near as many heads. If I remember right @KillerJim owned one so he could give you real world info.

 

[Jason]

Not good looking though.

In your opinion!

Pretty sure they weren't as the majority of them were for JDM but I think some came to the UK as official Nismo imports.

In your opinion!

It's still a golf tbf.

Curveball but this is fantastic machine at 30,000 and the noise would be a different level.

If I could afford an R8, even a V8 I'd be all over one of them.

They're just perfection.

 

[hutchy_belfast]

R8 has to have the best balance of performance/ 'specialness' and reliability if it suits your needs and budget.

 

[Rocko]

If you get one though, I'll punch you in the testicles.

I have a lovely Vantage for sale. Its an 08, 1 owner car with 18k on it. Full history. Selling it on behalf of a customer that's owned it from new.

Its a lovely example.of one in Black with tan interior. He has priced it well at £38k for a quick sale

I just had a flashback of an rms captioned photo of rub me baaaaaaaby which if I remember right u starred in lol

R8 would be awesome, some the jap scrap stuff has its merits but it's lacks the general finish I think you'd be after, specially if ur looking at astons etc

 

[big_pete]

Also lol at an r32 golf being mentioned among Aston's and R8's lol

Can't like this comment enough lol

If looking at cars like Aston's and R8's can I just throw this in the mix.....the looks and the noise is all there.

Good luck paying for the repairs when it breaks!

 

[hutchy_belfast]

And it will be worth only slightly more than a dacia sandero in 5 years.
Having 'encountered' one in my supercharged vx220 a few years back I doubt they are in the same performance league as an R8 either. Unless some electrical gremlins had rendered this one off a cylinder or two

 

[Burt2000]

yeah but look at it!.....and listen to it. OP asked for nice looking and sounding suggestions

 

[Coog]

Facelift Cayenne turbo?

 

[hutchy_belfast]

Aye it'll make any 2post lift or low loader look awesome. What won't look awesome is his savings account spending 4k or something daft every time the air con etc lets go. I've owned a few Alfas and love Italian cars more than most but at some point have to recognise that everyone and all the stories can't be wrong, big money Maseratis are bad craic.
