Top 10: £2000 coupes to buy in 2021
Just because your budget is tight doesn’t mean your next classic car should in any way lack style. This is where the classic coupe market is particularly interesting, featuring as it does an impressive array of makes, models and asking prices; even if you’ve no more than £2000 to spend, it’s still possible to get behind the wheel of a handsome machine.
The 1980s and ’90s saw some particularly interesting – and downright gorgeous – coupes launched, many of which can be snapped up now for relatively little cash. And even the ’70s still offers us a few cut-price gems. So the big question is: which one will you choose?

Despite being based on the Civic platform, the 1984 Honda CRX was a low-slung fastback coupe that looked gorgeous from any angle. And it wasn’t just good looking; the front-wheel drive CRX was a real driver’s car, with impressively flat handling, loads of grip and great performance from its 100bhp, 1.5-litre engine.
As early as 1986 though, the MkII CRX was being launched, with slightly more curvaceous styling and a lot more power – up to 150bhp in the case of the V-TEC version. Buy a reasonable survivor for £2000 or so and enjoy a fun, reliable style of motoring.
