Have a FL2 as the main wheels and now the sun is coming out I'm regretting ever having sold my Boxster.

Any suggestions on something cheap that I could run as a bit of fun and not lose much on? MX5 leaps to mind - ideally something where a couple of grand should get a nice car and not a knackered banger smile

I've got an MX5, a cheap Merlot that I bought last year. It's good fun undoubtedly but fast it ain't, won't really compare to a Boxster.

Not so fussed about speed as just a bit of fun. I did see a Smart Roadster but hadn't realised they still cost so much.

Fair one. I had a Boxster some years ago and although the MX5 clearly has bugger all in common with a Boxster, apart from the obvious, it can be just as much fun if not more so. Sad thing is I'm going to have to sell it this year but we'll wring it out.

MR2 just about sneaks in sub £2k - what else am I blatantly overlooking?
