The glass fibre bodywork does not stop the chassis from rotting though - my mate had an early straight six engined Scimitar Coupe went like stink but ate axles suspension & gearboxes back in the day. Very quick in the 1960's an underated classic.
There is always the TVR 350i wedge shape.

Thanks everyone,
Great to hear what people think - having never been into classic cars it's a strange new world but sounds like a bit of fun!.
Had a look at a Stag today and a decent drive out - quite good fun but not as impressed as I'd hoped and having some doubts about a soft-top as even the owner was saying he's nervous parking up anywhere public.
So might scrap that idea!
Did think about a slightly less old classic convertible but think I'd then just as well get a much newer car with full electric gadgetry and comfort and forget the classic bit!
Next on the list I do quite fancy is a Capri 2.8i - again no reason or history with them but just like the look of them and maybe more 'useable' for a bit of fun.
Will see if I can find one to try out over the next few days while in the mood for reckless spending!
Cheers,
Andy

They're well serious money if you've not appraised them yet :o friends brother had a few when contemporary and wanted another but prices can be eye watering. Most interesting old Ford have gone seriously nuts.
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
You can buy a solid Merc R129 with electric roof and a lot of gismos as standard. More a Grand Tourer than a Sports Car but a lot of engine options. Still rate the MX5 or if you can find a good one the Honda S 2000.
K2-K6:
Just thinking the same Ted, the Honda S2000 is a pretty neat sports car.
