Granturismo Sport. One of the best sounding engines money can buy and a soft top to enjoy it..

Mid-engined Fezza with a stick. Pretty depreciation proof.

How many seats do you need?

I had an SL for 7 years, bought it new (r231 SL400), lovely thing. It was a convertable when you wanted a coupe when you didn't.

I'd never buy a soft top, the folding metal roof drew me to the SL.

[ZX10R NIN]

As above how many seats do you need? Sportscar or GT?

[colinrob]

Only need 2 seats, have a Range Rover as well and wife has a Scirrocco

[maz8062]

Audi R8 V10 or 911 Turbo.

They’ll give you the thrills and hold their value over time. If pushed, R8 S-Tronic.

[Slow progress]

Heart would say Aston V8 Vantage or Maserati Granturismo for a tin top

I’d also say with my head any 911 for coupe, targa or cabrio.
