Out of what youve chosen there...Id deffo have to say the S200...always loved them..and pretty rare as well....so youll stand out amongst all the Sunday MX5 drivers. I have been told that the Z3 is an awesome car to drive...very fast for its power range....but can imagine that one being a lot more expensive. The Honda would be more reliable as well Im sure than the beemer...plus....if ya ever got it to the magic 8-9000 rpm..you woudnt be disappointed

The Z4 is a little out of my price range, especially when you consider Id want one with a fair bit of go in it... The Elise - More a track day car, very sparce inside, great handling and 0-60 car, but tend to lose out on the mid range and top end power, and the roof is very fiddly. The ones Id be looking at are also fitted with the 1.8 Rover K series engine

s2k is the way forward but they don't seam that fast driving them because of low torque, i was after one but decided against because of the time of year and all! Prices have shot up because of summer.
I was happy with my old vx220 but the roof was apain and not very comffy on long trips. Also mine got keyed down the side.

£8-£9k
E36 M3 is a hardtop made convertable, hence the chassis is compramised.
Elan is FWD
The S2ks are pretty highly strung and theres not a lot you can do to them - maybe exhaust and filter meaning they are pretty friendly to drive.
The intention is not to heavily mod the car as it becomes more fragile and harder to drive frequently.
I have the BMW still, so it will be a weekend car...

Apparently they (230 Compressor) are one of the worse cars of this type....
