If you had max £5k to spend on a car and the only requirements are that it has to be a two seater roadster/coupe.
What would you be buying?
(Only asking as I can only think of the mx5/mr2)

MX5. You'd find a decent example for 5k, too!

Honda S2000 or 3.0 Z4

Would also consider a boxter S if I could find a decent early car

I've looked around this price point recently and I don't think you'll get an S2000 for £5k? Even the Z4s are not likely to be the 3.0.

I've found the same.

Couple of leggy z4 3.0's at this price point but not many.

S2k's are just doable, but need to sort through alot of the dregs of the market.

Z4's you'll get a 3.0 for the money but it may not be very well spec'd, I'm selling my '05 in a few weeks for around that budget smile
