Just to turn things on its head- what car would your good lady like? The perfect car doesn't exist!
John, thats almost irrelevant. She isn't interested in my motoring activities at all. We've have well over 100 cars between us both and she sent remotely interested in recreational motoring. She's owned the sporty cars in out time, XR3i, Golf GTi, even a BMW convertible. Out of the lot her preference has been a mini clubman. The best she ever managed is 'I don't mind the Stag" but she still wouldn't come out in it. Not a chance of getting her in the Morgan.
She 'might' have some interest in a modern mini convertible but I doubt it.
