Vx220?

I think it might be easier than you imagine

Depreciation on exotic cars tends to be way lower than mass produced stuff.

There, fixed that one

OK, my idea of practical...

Clio V6.

I don't like Clios, but lets face it that isn't a Clio

Vx220?

On the list but the nearest one is about 100 miles away... making it actually a bit more tempting as it'll be rare locally, but likely a pain to get parts for

Yeah that is a touch too small, housemate at uni had a regular one and I found being a passenger cramped

Ohhh just caught up on this thread.

If you want cheap and cheerful top down 2 seater thrills have a look at an 04/05 MG TF 160, (awaits the screams of Head Gaskets!) despite all the horror stories out there properly maintained they are fine. Mine is loads of fun and even in standard spec left my dads 2.0L MX5 eating dust. Its got a bigger boot any of the other 2 seaters. Parts are cheap and readily available (if your looking a the eralier F the hydrogas spheres are getting hard to get hold of as Dunlop stopped making them in 2002) a late UK car will be 3-4K tops and will be cheap to run and insure and loads of fun.

ABS would be nice for some level of peace of mind especially if the gf drives it

Saw one today. Gorgeous in the flesh. Stood out much more than I was expecting. I didn't even notice the Aston behind it until the next junction :/
