Get an MX-5, an original 1989 or 1990 MK1 will be great, you will probably get cheaper insurance on a UK car but have a higher potential for buying a rot bucket. Prices of these should appreciate if you keep it standard and take care of them and there are lots of owners to bounce ideas off who are your age or thereabouts. You coudl even get one from your year of birth - which woudl be a cool thing to hang onto long term.
I used to have an RV8 and I really loved the car but the whole MG scene is well.. lets put it this way - was not for me.. The average owner is certainly over 60 as well so unless you enjoy hanging out in retirement homes I woudl stick with soemthing a little more modern..
Oi! I'm only 57. I used to have an RV8 and I really loved the car but the whole MG scene is well.. lets put it this way - was not for me.. The average owner is certainly over 60 as well so unless you enjoy hanging out in retirement homes I woudl stick with soemthing a little more modern..

After 35 years ownership of MGs I must confess to getting a little tired of the stereotypical MG owner when thumbing through the pages of the club mags. It seemed to be all grey hair and charity chegues. (Nothing wrong with either.) So I kept the MG and bought a TVR to go with it. I now have the best of both worlds, appreciate the differences between the two and enjoy driving both.
I'm sure this isn't an option for the OP but really, an MX5...??? Please.....
