I forgot one......how could I- this is a series 1 - my favorite of the bunch. My Grandfather had one of these, he sold it in 1981 for around 5000 quid. He told me after he should have passed it on to me.

As per my previous post, my favorite car of all time is this, a (stunning) 1966 Ferrari GTS. As you can see by my post above, two of the cars I want to buy look similar, especially my first choice, the Fiat 124 Spider. Either one of the cars above will cost me less than 10 grand. The ferarri would cost me about 1.5-2 million.

Spyder is the one mate, just as good looking as the Ferarri, but without the power.

If your serious, don't even contemplate buying any of those cars unless you have a dry garage, a good mechanic and a ready source of spares !

Oh I agree mate, my first choice by a long shot is the Fiat - its a beautiful car. A little bigger, slightly more reliable and a LITTLE less prone to rust than the Spitfire or TR6. I will buy one, bt I live in Alaska where it rains every day, so yes I agree. I need a garage first.
 
Here is the 124 Spider in red. I know, I know - but really if you are going to buy an Italian vintage sports car is there any other color than red to go with? It would be my first choice. Her it is compared to the upcoming 2017 124 Spider - pretty nice in its own right eh?

Used to park next to one of these every night upon going into work. Took extra care not to knock it.

One night they switched cars and came in a 4x4. They took the bottom of my door off. [inftacts self for language]

Thanks,
Nobs......
 
As I have researched this A LOT, quite a few of my friends and acquaintances have asked my why the Fiat 124, why not the Alfa Romeo Spider? While I agree the Alfa is also a great looking car, there is just more charm to the Fiat, in my opinion. Plus its from the 60's - the era I want to buy from for nostalgic reasons, and I can not afford a 60's Alfa.

Here is a 1985 Alfa Romeo Spider, with another shot of the Fiat 124 below to compare. Anyone disagree the Fiat is the better looking of the two?

Fiat looks good, what are the parts like though, price availability? MGB is worth considering.

May be a bit modern for you, but how about a MK1 Mazda MX 5 ?

All of the fun and looks, but with non of the breakdowns and rust !
 
I need a cheap run for less than £20 whilst I figure out what I'm going to do more long term.

Any ideas? The first one that came to my mind is a Fiesta.
