John - I would be inclined to try a few manual one's for clutch feel - after the untimely demise of my first Sport when I was looking around for a replacement Morgan and had a drive of a Roadster and the clutch was a killer for my knee.
My 1999 Plus 8 is light to me albeit not as light as my Son's Sport admittedly the return spring is disconnected as it is unnecessary tbh.
An Auto Plus Four is my fallback position if the knee finally says no, but who knows maybe I'll get a Bullitt Mustang instead - too many cars to choose from, but the V8 is my tune really and seldom have I not had one to play with.
