What sportscar would you give to your 21 year old?

[eclectic]

Hypothetical question. You have a budget of £8,000 to cover purchase and insurance of a present for your 21 year old. (Son/Daughter, God Daughter/Son).

So, its got to be fun, reliable, insurable, and a good 'trainer', furthermore,you can't expect the greatful 21 year old to be skilled or patient enough to build up a kit or 'special'.

I suggest a well sorted Porsche 924. The engines in the right place, parts are from VW..... Otherwise perhaps a Fiat 124 2000cc Pininfarina Sports, but they are getting a bit long in the tooth and are lhd. If I lived in the USA perhaps a Pontiac Fiero, with the optional European Sports pack, I once had a wonderful day with one borrowed from the late Mark Dees, zipping through the California Sierras!

Whether the age to be the donor or recipient, let your fantasies rip!
