.....I'll probably be flamed for this on an audi forum!
Go for the MX5 - if you can find a clean Mk2.5 (the less ugly one) 1.8
More smiles per mile than any other car I have ever driven.
Perfect for blasting round the island, ultra reliable.
If you can pick up a jap import it should be rust free and last 20+ years
I have a 1995 mk1 tucked away in the garage and I love it.
