...previously modified but not a wreck, £999 challenger; but best of all you can swing by Franks for a plate of chips on the way there or back. :)

The first one was in lovely condition, and a bargain for a pretty quick car, the Quadra could embaress alot of expensive cars in the wet!

Bleed valve on the turbo? What?!?!? Buy it but remember it'll need new pistons at some point.

That Visa's interesting, can't remember the last time I saw one on the road, the GTI is ever so rare these days. Brings back a few memories, my mum had a white one way back when, with the mighty 650cc flat two!

This one looks a real shed, could make a fun racer though.

Back in the day those Visa's were a great little thing, 205 would struggle to hang on to it on back road

Brilliant car, nice colour and either a future classic or Practical (five door hatch), Performance (1.9 XU or basically any engine you want as there's so much room), Car. :thumbup:

May even come in under £999. ;)

Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent. PPC is on sale on the last Thursday of every month.
