Given how long its taking me to make up my mind what to change to, I enter this discussion with hesitancy but fools rush in ............
A 1950s Sunbeam Talbot Alpine for me please - but would probably need the addition of power steering and preferably floor gear change..
You would need Trustran rust killer by the bucket full!
Morgan is the last real sports car... So what other car? Cheers,BertR
The "last real sports car"? Nonsense. There are loads of alternatives. The difficult bit is deciding which one. I'll give you a few starting at the Morgan price and going up, open cars only.
911
boxter sportster
ferrari 430 and 360
F type
vantage V8
soon to be announced Lotus Evora roadster
I have tested all bar the Evora and the 430 an F type were memorable. The 911 is a really good true sports car but if anything too good and competent. And you will lose money on it faster than you would do marrying a Playboy bunny.
If you want cheaper then you could do a lot worse than a Mazda MX5
If you just want a car with a bit of poke then the range of fast hatchbacks is huge. No 1 son has a BMW M1 - 1400 kg 325 bhp and it goes like the proverbial. I wouldnt admit it to no 1 but I suspect its faster than my Elise R. And by all accounts there are faster Renaults and Fords. Ye gods!
Finally you could always go "hairdresser - BMW Z4, Merc SL or even (yuk) a TT.
In terms of reliable comfortable cars with ridiculous levels of performance I reckon we are in a never to be repeated decade. After this come the Dysons on wheels.
