Not a "sports" car as such but a C70 T5 will get down the road well enough.Handling is a bit "floaty" but can be tightened up ample room inside although boot is a bit compromised.

F33 430d bmw, hard top to convertible in a few seconds, and reasonably sporty and economical. Plus I recall TB saying how cool I looked whenever he see me in mine.   

I think that’s what he said anyway. 

Your hearing is improving, because what I called you began with C....

Yup

The criteria seems to be a posh convertible for posing in. May as well do it with some class...

I don't think antique was in the criteria though?

An E-class?? That's classy in the same way that a Vauxhall's Merit trim level deserves a badge.

I went coupe rather than convertible (having driven both lots). Very much love it and use it, don't regret the purchase at all

 Nice Astra Bertone 🤭

Do you ever wish that you'd kept your mouth shut and not said anything? 

However, various questions arose and what leaped out at me was the fact that I don't actually drive much. Sometimes a week or even more go by and I don't get into the car. We have two cars. I drive mine now and again just to give it a run, I don't actually go anywhere.

Shopping? I walk
Pub or out for a meal? I walk
Bits & pieces? Walk
Stuff I can't get locally? Online & home delivery

I still love the idea of a sports car, but it would be a toy. I don't do my own repairs or tinkering, so that's out. Not interested in pulling or competing with boy racers. Not bothered about top speeds and 0-60 figures, my XC70 is enough for me. Posing? Who to? So, just because . . .

I've just talked myself out of the whole idea. Everybody's input is greatly appreciated.

BUT, if I saw a cheap Crossfire, I may well still just buy it, just for the hell of it

Rog is a fellow Welshman, so maybe he needs a faster sheep?

I had my mid life crisis in my twenties, but went down the 2 wheel route instead

All of which is perfectly understandable .

I'm reading through that, and kinda thinking that you probably don't want a "sports car" (ie, sporty/fast/woman magnet) but actually fancy a specific car?  In which case, go for it, its what you want, not a list of other people's personal desires.
