Looking for a 2 seater sports MX5 / MR2 etc ?

[uk_vette]

Hello all,

What other cars are generally available as a 2 seater sports.
Really looking for some open air mororing.

The MX5 and MR2 'T-Bar' are the only ones I can think of ?

please suggest some , an perhaps why.

I will spend about £3000

MG F/TF - just to throw the cat amongst the pidgeons, and because I don't mind them.

Plenty of scope to tighten and stiffen....and personally I think they look better than the MX5 (but not the MR2)....

Right, I'm off to avoid abuse!

Fiat Barchetta? Think that all lhd though?!

Mk3 MR2 falls into your open air motoring category too...

That kind of money should get you a TVR Tasmin 350 (V8).

Cheap on the old insurance (I pay just over £100 per year on a classic policy), great noise, a real headturner and likely to hold it's value a bit more than an MX5 / MGF / MR2.


Bought mine 4 years ago for just over £3K, and put 8K on it. Been offered £3.5K for it last month.

The bits are either Ford / Jag / Rover (other than a few specialised parts)

Alfa Spider - in either the modern 916 format, FWD, mainly 2 ltr twinspark...

or the achingly pretty classic spider which they made for aaages up to about 1993 IIRC, various facelifts.



I wish they drove aswell as my MX5, or my MX5 was as pretty !

You're nudging the lower end of the MR2 Roadster market there (yr 2000 cabrios). But buy wisely at that price.
