So I love the Zed and will probably keep it forever as I have a warehouse and space to store, sorn, etc. but over the last couple of months I've been itching to try something else
I have £40k to spend (or so Mrs CJ tells me), but would be happier at say £35k rather than above the price
Has to be 2 seater sports car, not a 2+2 or saloon pretending to be sports
Modern and quick
Must sound right and be driver focussed, but not overly pure, so no Atoms..
MPG doesn't matter as will only do 6k/annum
Outright purchase or PCP if dealer does something silly
Roadster ideally but could live with coupe
Not for tracking
No kit cars or continuation (except E type continuation - as if
)
Let's assume for now it's not an ///M although it's the obvious power, price, involvement, etc. choice and 1/2 the budget
On my list:
Jag F type is gorgeous and has dropped into the price range and you can get new from £48k
Alfa 4C is the sports alternative. Great performance but is it too harsh and a 4 cyl turbo
Boxster or Cayman - Just can't decide if 'me'. The 718 is a quantum leap forward, but would have to be previous incarnation
Can't decide if on or off
Audi TT - solid, quick but it's an Audi and love or loath design
Audi R8 - price point might be a gamble as they're older
Lotus Exige - don't know. Never owned or driven except tuned up track type variants
Mercs - don't know..
Off the list
Aston Vantage as it's a bit long in the tooth and too GT
No right or wrong answers so would love to hear comments and what you'd buy and why given the brief
