There are 2 cars that would fit the bill of being my only car, either a 2 seater or a 4 seater both have soft tops. They would allow you to do the continental tours, could be used as the daily hack yet wouldn't look out of place if you turned up in them at the Cafe de Paris, in Monte Carlo. For relatively sensible money it would be:-
The 2 seater would be a Mercedes SL250 Pagoda, the 250 still had the better suspension setup of the 230, but more torque than the 230 and less of a cruiser the 280 became.. If money no object then the late 50's Mercedes SL300 soft top. Or
The 4 seater would be any straight six or V8 any of larger engined 4 seater Mercedes Cabriolet from the late 60's upto the W124 in 1996/7.
Air conditioning and automatic would be de rigor as Mercedes ride better as auto's,
