Scimitar!!

Everything the Capri is, and more.

Hand-built British Sportscar. Reliable, fun and gets positive comments wherever you go.

Classic British you say, how about a Jag xjs .. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C365080#

Or I'd be very tempted by this, the ultimate toy vehicle and very cool too, classic Land Rover? http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C348583
