What convertible is as good looking as a z4

How about a V8 Australian Vauxhall? In budget, V8, absolutely nuts apparently!

I think I would rather own a yellow Robin Reliant

with 'Trotters independent trading Co' on the side than another Vauxhall.

It would be worth more than a Vauxhall

This was my exact worry before I took the plunge, but once I started driving the Cayman all my worries were gone. No regrets whatsoever.

I'm with Rob, every petrolhead should at one time in their life own an Elise chassis and experience being properly connected to the road!

Otherwise, I do love the mk2 SLK look with the F1 inspired front end (appreciate its marmite though) and in V8 format is fantastic

The Fiat Barchetta is stunning, shame they are LHD!

I saw a Honda S660 at a show recently, they look brilliant too, I love how they show off the engine bay etc.

Of course you can then go back in to British sports car eras of the 70s and they all look absolutely fantastic, even if they fall apart during use!

remeber test driving a barchetta donkeys years ago..don't remember it being lhd, definitely not a slk fan..do like 2012 on sl though, think mI'm past the Elise stage in life unfortunately

, 70s brit cars definately don't do it for me..next door has a few and they're off the road more than on

Quite like the convertible TR7 or TR8 they have become better looking with age and a cheap classic at the moment , not for much longer though I would imagine. Was on my list before getting the Z4 bug.

F-Type has to be worth a look? Starting to see them under £25k now
