I may have to lower my expectations now I’ve discovered what they cost!
An MX5 doesn’t have quite the same exclusivity but it’s a hell of a lot cheaper…

What a very nice MGTF… will certainly lookout for you…
Maybe not a classic - but this version will be one day - and it is French !
Impressive handling, most of the time, and performance puts the showroom version in the shade, but at this price it should 
I would love to own and drive a Citroen DS convertible, as Mat Davies and RayR mentioned. However, I plan to ride a motorcycle in reality. 
I wrote off my Nissan 200SX tourer thanks to a non indicating lady and I now own a 1980 BMW 633CSi which is undergoing some renovation/overhaul. The Silverstone Classic was the most wonderful nostalgia fix for racing cars and displays - over 10,000 on show it was said - and what some cars!
On the subject of Capris, I live in Charente Maritime and there is a house in a village next to me where two are parked - a 2.8i and a 3.0S. Not in great shape but nothing that a respray won’t enhance.
Oh! I owned a Ferarri Dino GTS and the oneat the start is a replica certainly, but a good one, why spoil it with those mirrors and extra indicators! I bet it has power steering too which the original did not.

We are fortunate enough to already have ours. Now we just need to ask the Prefecture to make parking spaces longer. 
Last Sunday saw the Retromobile Salon in Bazas (33) and we saw some great cars - here’s some pictures.

For me, it would have to be comfortable and British, so I guess a Jaguar. Or maybe a Bristol.

Three fab cars. Which V8 lump in the Griff?
I had a V8S, the stop-gap V8 4 litre TVR brought out to tide over those people who snowed them under with cheques when the Griff was shown at a show - 2 years before it went into production.
Then came a lovely Merc CLK. Just like this but with the 2.3 Kompressor engine - faster, quieter than the 320. Good for 155 mph, I was tooling along a bit of urban dual at the 50 mph limit when my passenger said, “Come on then! Show me what it can do!”
I said, “Bob! You’re not supposed to say that! You’re a police officer!” And we’d just come from annoying his mates in a radar van …
But really, it would have to be the unspeakably beautiful DS Decapo. Or the world’s most beautiful car, The Bugatti Atlantique. The Citroen Avan Decap would be fun for a day out but you might not get far. And some Can-Can girls for company, in a Bugatti. what fun!
All photos taken at The Bugatti Owners’ Club annual event, “La Vie En Bleu” at their base at Prescott Hill Climb, just outside Cheltenham, Glouc. A wonderful w/e of Frenchness. 
Spot on. See my pic of one going up the hill at La Vie En Bleu at Prescott Hill Climb.
I had two DSs. A DS19 and the fab semi-auto fuel injection DS23. What a car.
