OK looking for a daily drive for up to £35k.

I want something that's a fantastic drive car by 2 seater or 2x2.

What's do people see as the best performance and looks for £.

Images and reasons please....

TVR Mk2 Tuscan Full Convertible. (or Targa top or Sagaris)
Only 83 made.
Fantastic performance.
Handlings great once you've sorted the suspension and geometry.
Despite popular belief, reliability and build quality is very good.
Great GT car. Driven mine 4 times to Germany and twice to Spain with more trips planned.

Agreed it's outside of the budget, but there is always some flexibility to get "the one" isn't there?

Thats where my money would go.

Pre owning the TVR i would have said an F355 but by todays standards performance is somewhat lacking.

Not a fan of those either.I still say the best wheels to adorn any TVR are spiders.Even if they are made of chocolate.
