I would find a nice used Elise S1.
British racing green, light leather interior. This was how i first met this car. And I still am dreaming about it at night. It was a short ride in a friend of my dad's newly imported S1. I was 16 back then, the first or second year they where out that was. It is the purest of them for me, and i still like the bodyshape of the S1 better of all. The S1 represents the ideology of this car to the full IMO.
And in your matter it can save you some cash to.
