- 2 door convertible
- Petrol, manual gearbox
- Similar size to MX5 (it has to fit in the garage where it's tight even for the MX5)

Why the requirement to replace? Is it to do with the plate showing the neighbours they have a new car, or some other reason?

That point alone makes it difficult to find something suitable. The MX5 has remarkably grown very little since the original NA model (in fact the ND is actually 3.2cm shorter!) while something like the Z4 is 30cm longer than the original Z3.Requirements are:
