1996 Honda Prelude 2.2 VTEC
Price when new according to Parkers (well, for a 97/P model, but there's only 3 months difference in registration dates) was £20924
Say add £1000 for the leather I've since added, making it £21924
I paid £1750 for the car, and then a further £100 for the leather, making it £1850 in May 2005, car almost exactly 9 years old.
