I saw an article on the parkers website listing 10 hidden gems for under 1k and thought I could come up with some better suggestions (especially better than the vauxhall omega!) so here it is in no particular order:
10. Honda Prelude vti
9. Honda CRX vti
8. Rover 200 BRM
7. Citroen Saxo VTS / Peugeot 106 GTi
6. Proton Persona Coupe
5. Proton Satria GTi
4. Ford Probe 24v
3. Toyota MR2 Mk1
2. Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo
1. Alfa Romeo 145 Cloverleaf
