Downsizing from a Volvo C70 - what should I get?

I have £1200 and a Volvo C70 1999 Coupe which I would like to swap for either a hatchback or smaller coupe. What's the best I could get?

The most sensible is a Ford Fiesta 1.25 82PS. But if you go wild there are all sorts of things you can get, for example a Toyota Celica coupe
