Mondeo is a good choice for that sort of money IMO.

Hyundai XG30

A Lincoln that's been through a hot-wash, has loads of toys, reliable and frameless side windows - usually a feature of a car with character!

Saab 9000.

Shares a platform with the Alfa 164 so it's relatively good to drive, but is as reliable as all Saabs were before they became Vectras in an Abba costume.
Big comfy and bargelike, lots have leather and comedy wood, plenty of toys and heated seats.
You can park a Caterham in the boot.
2.0 petrol is economical, 2.3 Turbo is fairly quick, Abbot or Carlsson ones are scary.
