Here are 5 surprisingly cheap fast cars. (Click for full list!)

Every petrolhead loves browsing the classified advert sites of the interwebs dreaming about their next car. I like to think of it as a lazy yet enjoyable form of guilt-free window shopping.

What I really love though, is stumbling across something that surprises me, something that makes me shout in a very British way, “blimey that’s cheap!”

Here are five real drivers’ cars that have recently made me do exactly that. I’ve also written in a quick conversion for USD and Euros. Can you think of any more? If so, post them up in the comments!

If I’m right, it’s adjusted for inflation. So what would be $40,000 back then would now be like $20,000 now. I just don’t see that car going for $40,000.

Buy the 06 Cayman, and everyone will think its the 2015 model. Still looks the same!

Plus, that was 10 years ago. Not 40. If you do factor in inflation, it may be a couple thousand. Not double the price.
