Let;'s tweak those requirements a tiny bit ...

[ATTAK Z]

Good call, but I'm not into later Corvettes ... looking for something more like this http://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/chevrolet/impala/248407

[Redsky]

If I was looking something like this https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201711071031802?make=FORD&model=MUSTANG

Or something like this to be a bit different https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201707297840541?make=CHEVROLET&model=CHEVELLE Although this one is a little over budget but maybe with a little nudging?

[ATTAK Z]

Love both of those and haven't seen either before ... they are contenders ... many thanks

[Toon Chris]

That mustang <drool>

About the only yank car i have a thing for and probably only because it has suicide back doors:

How about some low rider 7.0L action? With change left over

Ye ol'coupe de'vil !

[Mikevv]

1967/8 Camaro. 

[ATTAK Z]

Done the Camaro bit ... had a TransAM for 11 years !

[ATTAK Z]

I'm still loving this

 

 

[GMballistic]

1960-70's Dodge Charger?. 

 

The R/T version maybe above your budget of £20K but worth having a look at imho. 

 

 

 

[ATTAK Z]

@GMballistic

Son number one is about to get a Charger so I would be seen as copying ... also I want a cruiser rather than a muscle car

[leonk]

 Given your family connections Hugh, have you considered importing something or is that already the plan?

[Rock_Steady]

How about a 5th gen ford Thunderbird. I've always quite liked these.  Suicide rear doors!!

Well I really want to buy now and want as little hassle as possible ... I want the car to come to me rather than having to work at it ... I'm too old

You can leave most of it, but can you take the wheels away and bring back some better ones!

Thought that was a GT2000 Celica for a minute... 

[ATTAK Z]

Now looking seriously at Redsky's suggestion

 

[Jay84]

Nice. I have a bit of a soft spot for retro trucks that are on the deck, Datsun, VW or yank tank, they all look ace.
