R32 GTR. You'll need to take time to look for the right one, or import one yourself, but the prices are only going one way.

I loved owning mine. It's the first car I've ever owned where I've not seen another on the road during (and after!) my ownership.

I've been looking for a car to fit a bill similar to the OP
And have seriously been thinking about a 32 GTR myself
If the price of 34s is anything to go by, it could go very well for appreciating values

Funnily enough I think you're the guy that bought my grey mk2.5 with the brown roof and supercharged it.....small world!

I am, how funny! Yep, M45 charger, ME ECU, new sills, the full monty :-). I've absolutely adored that car and sunk a small fortune into it but after two mk5's I feel it's time for a change so she'll be up for sale over the next few weeks. You did a great job on the looks, it gets a lot of admiration.

Lot's of Jap recommendations and I do love them all, if I did go that route I'd get an R33 Skyline or a P1 Impreza but they just don't float my boat in the same way as they used to. I think a naturally aspirated soft-top is the focus so the BMW roadsters may be worth a shout, I just wonder how good a bet they'll be in terms of values, the Elise and TVR just feel a little bit more specialist, more enthusiasts cars.
