My R5 used to turn heads. I found that people who didn't generally know about cars didn't appreciate it tho.
Ace car!!

Very nice loafofbrett, that would be one of my choices too, and i no what you mean about some people not apprecaiting it.
The xr2 is a good choice aswell, what about xr3?

I think it's generally people who are 18 or younger these days who won't appreciate them. I grew up with R5GTT being on the front cover of Max Power every other week.

Im only 19 now, and have appreciated these sorta cars for a while. If i ever see a r5 about and point it out to any of my mates they laugh tbh. Im the only one of my mates into cars though

Depends what your budget is really. You could get a Mk II XR2, like this:
 for a reasonable price, but don't expect it to be anything less than high maintenance
Edit: Don't expect it to be left hand drive either.
Or if you want proper old school, and have a few pennys to spare, get a MkI Supersport:
