Roger, you want a car that's a blast to drive and not quite so pricey? Almost 3 years ago I too was looking to buy some kind of fun car and after looking at vaious MGBs, Spitfires and TR-6s I pulled the triger on a Fiat Spider. It's roomier inside, has a top that goes up or down in about 10 seconds, plus a high reving, very advanced for it's time belt driven twin cam engine, unlike those tractor-derived British motors. Plus it has a 5 speed tranny so it's better on the highway than the others. In my opinion these cars are way undervalued.
The car I bought needed some work as most old sports cars will but since then I haven't hesitated to take this car anywhere; I've had it all over New England. I tell people half the fun of old sports cars is the excitment of wondering if you'll make it home again, but this car has never left me stranded. And if you like to tinker these cars are very easy to work on. And I just thought of another bonus--you already have metric tools, right?
