£4000 budget for a new car.. Looking for something different

Nissan Cherry turbo?
We had a 1.4 cherry from new and it was fantastic!
Until one day it was coming back from MOT and the timing belt snapped
But still 138,000mile on the original timing belt, we couldn't complain :shrug:

evil evil machines,
Wish they would make cars like this again less than a ton, no emission filters, just bolt a big fan onto an engine

Love the oldschool styling of the Cherry Turbo, but i wish cars like that wernt so bloody rare
Something with a turbo would be ideal as it would open up a massive world of tuning capabilitys and plus then sound awesome :yum:

Just had a calculation and I would stretch to about £5000 if I got good money for my GP, It needs a few things touching up before I sell it but Ive got some money set aside for that.
I think a 100hp is looking pretty damn likely. Gonna ring a few garages and see what they can provisionally offer me for my car and that will help me decide on a definate budget
