Your bargain daily driver is?

I have a 2000 BMW E36 Compact. It’s covered 175,000 miles, has a full service history, drives like new and has loads of options including an electric fabric roof (£2000 back in the day). All this for £500!

I bought this 68k MG ZR for £550. It’s happily done 150 miles a week in traffic for the past two years.

Darren Smith 2001 Pug 306 HDI, bought for £400 14 months ago. It’s done 15k miles in that time and it’s cost me a clutch and a brake light switch. Grab one while they’re still affordable!

Worthy Detailing

Bought an Alfa Romeo 156 for £185, fitted a set of rear brake pads, topped up the levels and then drove it to Monza for the Italian F1 race. Epic adventure and not one beat was missed!
