Bridge camera for £200?

[lolage]

Got a friend asking me to recomend him a bridge camera for around £200. Is there a camera that's the obvious choice in this price range? I'm not really up to date with bridge camera, but he just wants it to take nice photos of his car.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks.

I got a Tz35 for £159 - its more a compact with PASM control than a true bridge, but it would certainly be capable of taking nice pictures of a car

Look for a Canon SX40 or Fuji HS30. Both good cameras. Higher image quality from the canon, but better viewfinder and controls on the Fuji.

I had a Panasonic DMC-LZ20 which was a brilliant camera and you can get the DMC-LZ30 from argos for £150.

Never used a Fuji HS30 but had (still have) two previous models and they were terrific bridge cameras. From what I read the HS30 carries on the tradition.
But I am biased
