Cheers for the comments guys - I'll pass on the suggestions. Had a little look myself and I think my choice would be either -
A 996 with GT3 kit like ak suggested -

OR a TVR T350c

Yeah T350 that, uses the same engine as mine altho its the 3.6 compared to the 4.0 and is detuned slightly to 350hp.
Still a great car tho and not as scary as the Tuscan, a better handler from what Ive heard!?

Sorry my bad (too early!). £20k for the t350c, seems like a bargain.

Thats no joke either...........I made sure I kept £5-6k of my budget back! The T350 is probably the best built TVR to date but its still a TVR.
Tell him not to get one unless he knows what they are like. For me its just a weekend toy, doesnt matter if its broke a fair bit, Im not easily disappointed and Ive got the funds to keep it on the road!
For them few days of the year where everything is perfect tho..............

Mate at work was in the same situation last month had upto 33K to spend, (he wanted a brand new car) looked at Z4 Coupe, R32, S4 and new BMW335
Hes gone for the R32,
But i would have gone for one of these
30K gets you a 52 reg Noble!!!

he's about £7.5K-£10K short of a tvr Sagaris or a Noble M400 i wouldn't touch any T350T/ T350C unless i had a death wish! they handle like sh1t,Noble changed the lights on the 2003on models of the 3R version and look much better but you can't get them for under £35,if i was him i'd put the money in the bank and wait 6 months until the sagaris comes down in value another 5-10K and get one of them,

I tried to get into a VX220. Getting in was hard enough, getting out was impossible.
