You could get a P, R or S reg UK 6TH Gen GT for that kind of money - plenty of them around - Imports are another option, SS 2 being an example (Superstrut? expensive - don't know much about them). If you went for a cheaper P or R reg UK GT you'd have some money left over for brake discs/pads all round and suspension changes. Someone else will know more about Imports and the like.

As for UK GT engine variations, the 1994/1995 pre-facelift ones had 173bhp as standard, whilst the 1996-1999 post-facelift ones had 168bhp - both are 3S-GE engines. The post-facelift comes with some minor cosmetic changes (rear spoiler, indicators etc).

Excellent performing cars for the money though - quick-ish 0-60 and 0-100 mph for a NA 2.0 Litre - not particularly torquey though, but quick from the lights.

Stunning looking cars - you'll get people in droves in their brand new Astra's, Clio's and the like headturning at your older, but "Supercar" looking car. You get the feeling that 20-something women don't what it is :)
