What car would you buy for £300?

It’s amazing what £300 will buy you these days if you’re prepared to scrape around shamelessly at the bottom of the classifieds. Which is precisely what we want you to do. Top Gear is planning a very special race for its 300th issue, but we need a hand deciding what to buy… which is where you lovely lot come in.

Here are the rules. You only have £300 but the car must be in full working order and with a valid MOT. If you happen to come in under the £300 mark you can spend the rest on choice modifications. If you spend all your cash you can still use your bare hands and what you have lying around to improve your purchase, because we’re kind like that.

The brief is to make it fast and reliable for an endurance race around an oval dirt track. So, the question is, what would you buy? And what changes, if any, would you make to it? You can upload a link to the advert, and any relevant imagery in the comments box below. Happy hunting.
