    For £2000 to £3000 I would go for an Alfa GTV Spider or Coupe. Take a mechanic with you to look at it, and make sure it has a year's MOT.
    You only want it for a year, during which time you will love it. Any longer and it will cost you money.

    Ok, well I am a woman so an MX5 would be fine for me :-p
    I don't want to spend 7-8k! Idon't have that much - a couple of K at most - have a Focus at the mo - can probably get £1500 for it.
    NO SUPRA'S! Sorry - but no. Considered the Cupra years ago, but again, no.
    Would love to lease, but can't find anywhere that does the kinda thing I want for under 12 months.
    Whatever I had I wouldn't be driving like a p&*^k - too old for that now and I only do 3k miles a year.
    Did consider Alfa but Italian cars are too expensive to fix/maintain!

    It's a flip between the S2000 and the Smart Roadster for the mo!

    Thanks for all your comments though!

    Any "sports car" which costs around £2K is going to costs a bit of money, but you only want it for a year, is that correct?
