What about an Alfa Spider? Certainly a head-turner.

Or, at the cheaper end of the scale, something a bit less conventional - a TR7.

Both selected, with little thought, from the home page of C&C. Masses to choose from, especially with your generous budget. Enjoy the search!

Alfe Spider (up to the S4) is a good suggestion (and a pretty good drive), but of all my classics, the ones that get the most attention are the Mini Cooper and the Alfa Giulia.

MGB GT Such an effortlessly pretty car, with o/d and hatchback, practical too.
MGA & GT6 a good shout too.
One for the OP is a frogeye, with a tuned 1275 75hp performance is spritely wink
Good fuel economy, low insurance, fifties elegance, reliable, cheap parts, rwd and chicks dig them as they think you are the guy from the Taylor Swift video.
Im trying to get a lower geared rear diff on mine to reduce the revs at cruise.
The pointing, laughing and attention takes a bit of getting used to.
I think fifties cars like the MGA were styled as like a reaction to the misery and butchery of WWII.
Cars were not about looking mean or macho....just elegance, grace and fun.
Excuse to post pics of the poor mans XK120/MGA

Hi guys, I would really like to buy a classic car but I'm not sure which one? I want it to stand out and look cool and my price range is about 15k tops! I'm 22 so chapter insurance would be nice, but I can stretch a bit smile
I used to own a Volvo p1800 as my daily driver but had to sell, so now I'm looking for something new!

Any ideas?
A 1980's Bentley.

Sticks.

They both look nice. The KGs have really shot up in price - or perhaps more people have seen the top price ones and put theirs up for the same.
