Sports in the spotlight
If your heart favors sports cars, that’s fine. You can go to this Porsche 944. Of English origin, it requires a bit of mechanical work but is quite in good condition, inside and out. Small negative point, you will have to learn to drive with the steering wheel on the right. On the other hand, with its price of 2,500 €, it is undoubtedly the cheapest way to access the prancing horse brand of Stuttgart … provided you are a minimum handyman.

In a completely different style and for a completely different budget, you can treat yourself to two MG TDs in US papers for the price of one. The second will however only be there to serve as a donor, while the first will need a lot of care to regain its past splendor. As the seller is still asking € 20,000 for this lot, it is better to make sure that the work is not too colossal before doing business. There are indeed copies of this 1950s roadster in much better condition for less than € 30,000.
