What would you buy?

Looking to spend up to £30k on a fast GT style car for daily use – about 10k miles a year. I don’t really care about fuel consumption, or how many seats it has and will consider hard and soft top. I do want it to be fast, charismatic (!), reliable, and routine services to cost hundreds rather than thousands.
The potential candidates –
BMW Z4M (Coupe or Roadster) - £25k ish
Jaguar XKR (Old or New model) - £20k to £30k
Vauxhall VXR8 (Old school muscle car ) - £18k to £24k
Cars ruled out for personal reasons
Audi RS4
BMW M3
Maserati GranSport (yes, I thought about it!)
Nissan 350/370Z
Porsche Boxster/Cayman
TVR
Any personal experiences, or recommendations on others which should be considered?
Thanks!
Neal.

You could get a Corvette c6 for that price or a very nice c5 z06 with some change left over.
Fast plus very cheap to run and service. LHD only though.
Edit to add M6. Beast of a car with dynamics and power that overcome its overweight looks.

I was going to suggest an AMG Merc but that's likely to go into the £000's for servicing, In my opinion I would certainly suggest a 911, drive one and tell me you wouldn't seriously consider one.
Is an AMG dearer to service/run than a 911? A friend has had two 911s and a Boxster S and always seems to leave the OPC with a bill of between £750 and £1500!My suggestions are however Porsche 911 and Mercedes SL55, the latter for the benefits of hard top & top down motoring and THAT noise.
