@lockexxv That’s the thing ideally I’d just insure the mx-5 as a daily and wear a big jacket as another user suggested but I found it hard to even get insured as a classic.
I fear a Mk1 Focus RS is already out of budget for me!
Last one I seen on Donedeal was €26k!
I was thinking if doing that but I fear I’d miss the Mazda and end up with something not as fun and even more expensive.
Cars I’d consider that’d be within budget are - 350z - 15k, 2k to insure, €1.8k to tax is a hard pill to swallow.
Dc5 Integra Type R - hard to get insured on but not impossible, probably another 2k, €700 to tax.
Altezza, as much as I hate the association, they’re a decent car. €710 to tax, €1k to insure, and I’d be able to pay back some of the loan.
E92 355i - expensive, I’d love an in-line 6 but just not prudent.
Mk7 Fiesta ST - good fun by all accounts, probably not as much fun though.
Same with Mk7 GTI or Focus ST of that era.
FN2 Civic same as above, but quite cheap to buy and insure.
