Just a few off the top of my head. But my first choice would have to be the Mazda or the Audi (if you can love the looks).

BMW Z3
Mazda MX-5
Merc SLK
Toyota MR2
Audi TT
Pug 206CC

That Spider is the reason I disliked MGBs so much! Bit unfair I now realise, as they're very different cars. Never got to drive one actually, sadly.

There used to be a FIAT dealer in Hatfield with a new coupe (about six years old new!) in his showroom. Never had the money.

Only ever drove the boggo 131 and it was a real retrograde step (it was, like the Marina, a stopgap rush-job tinbox after the FWD 129 was cancelled) after the refined 124. I guess the homo special version evened things up a bit.
