Well.. having said farewell to my sprint, once ive got my lancia restored I need something really special to drive daily. Something low, sporty, fun, mid engined ideally. And hopefully cheap..

Fiat x1/9 - had one, didnt fit in it properly, so thats out
Toyota mr2 mk1 - too much rust potential
Honda crx - not my kind of thing

Ferrari 328

Give me money please

hmmm,

Suppose you have considered a Montecarlo? (could you fit a VX supercharger?)

No!

Do you ever get that 'wealth Tourettes'? when you meet someone who is really stinkingly filthy rich and your brain is trying to get you to say "Give us some money, come on you bastid, you wont miss it, give us some, go on, give us some money".

Understood... But Give us a clue what guidelines to use.
70s?
60s?
2 seats OK?
fast or feels fast (usually means a) quick or b) makes lots of noise and is uncomfortable )?
etc etc



what about a Fiat 124 spider....
or
An A310 Alpine (very 70s wedge)...

Had a 328 - 4yrs ago.... would recommend hiring one for a day or two first ( or find an understanding dealer for a weekend test drive ) I loved mine but the chavs took every opportunity to key it etc... it generates just a little too much envy! Best of luck though.
