Today's autotrader challenge: 150mph+ for £2,000
OK, here are the rules...
You can only use cars available for sale on www.autotrader.co.uk with a price no more than £2,000.
The winner is the one who can find the fastest car (top speed when new) for £2,000 only. In the event of a tie, the cheaper car wins. No modifying allowed - sorry!
I'll start the ball rolling....
BMW 735i, 1991, £1,795 here.
Any advances?

Read the rules:
"The winner is the one who can find the fastest car (top speed when new) for £2,000 only. In the event of a tie, the cheaper car wins. No modifying allowed - sorry!"
Therefore cost only overules in the event of a tie.
(Can't believe how involved I'm getting in this modern version of top sheds )

Are we absolutley sure that all the cars on this fun thread will do 150 mph?
I'm not splitting hairs here over 1 or 2mph but I'm not convinced about some of them.
