£2500 to spend on a car what would it be. i'm looking for suggestions as I could well be looking at 1 in a few months but I don't want owt that's gonna be a squeeze bearing in mind I'm 6' 6".

And before you ask no I haven't given up on the 19 and i will be using it still but prob as a track day motor when i get summit new.

TBH I'm just looking at suggestions. Either newer reliable or older and chuck a bit of money at it. Maybe 405 mi16 etc summit bigger than the 19 I would think.

Tuning is probably out really. Just a nice standard car/modded by previous owner = maybee.

Summit like this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1991-BMW-325-I-SE-SILVER-m3_W0QQitemZ4601127734QQcategoryZ9837QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Or this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1990-PEUGEOT-205-GTI-BLUE_W0QQitemZ4600733172QQcategoryZ9859QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Bit small but mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

a 405 is not bigger than a 19, no point in that, less comfy as well.

Get a proper car, get an old pre GM saab 9000, if you try it you will not go back tbh!
