Looks and Sound, £7k-£8k?
Discussion
As above really and I think I already know the answer but I’m interested in options I might have not considered:
£7-8k
Great sound
Interesting engine
Makes you look back at it every time you get out
Coupe probably but not a deal breaker
Doesn’t need to handle on rails, it won’t be on a track
Doesn’t need to be insanely fast, can’t drive quickly these days anyway
No convertibles
What would you be looking at?

Can you get a Z4 coupe 3.0si for £8k. Always had a soft spot for those.
You can, although it may have some miles on it which doesn't matter too much as the N52 engine is pretty bulletproof. Of the options suggested a Z4 Coupe would be the one I'd be most likely to look back at, but I'm somewhat biased as I'm on my third now!
But in the looks stakes a 350Z, XK8 or CL Mercedes run it close.
Alfa Brera V6.
This one is advertised over budget, I think the price is unrealistic.
There weren’t any others to show you…

A Merc of some sort
E300 / E320CE
W216 CL55 / cl500
W215 CL500
CLK55
Will be partially ruinous, but great looking and sounding
E300/ 320 will be totally mute...E300 / E320CE
W216 CL55 / cl500
W215 CL500
CLK55
Will be partially ruinous, but great looking and sounding
Only ones that will sound a bit throaty will be the ones with 55 in the model designation. You might get a warble out of a 500, as standard, though.

A little over budget but an iconic car, and very cool.

Manual version of this S5 do crop up and I have seen plenty over the years at <£8k. A manual naturally aspirated V8 will never be dull.

Is there a reason you have specified no convertibles?
I only ask because the budget you have:
Early Boxters are starting to look very good VFM and quite classic now.

TVR S series and wedges are on budget. But I guess these aren't your thing...
