Tempted by a third car for fun.No idea what,just roofless.

Old MG? Eunos? Escort cab? got to be something.Really temted on MX5/Eunos but thinking more like 3k for something like that.

It'll flippin rain for months if I do this:rolleyes:

Spitfire? TR7, TR6, TR8? Renault 19 16v cab? Ashtray / Astra 16v cab?

Rover 200 cabriolet can be had for less than 1K.

Angle grinder can be had for under £50

Triumph herald.

£1500 should get you a tidy one

I would say MG B if you can get one for that sort of money in ok condition.

I'd have said a V12 Etype convertable, but you won't pick one of them up for £1500 :(

Old Suzuki Vitara/SJ convertible? Offroading and sun

I have just started drive my Spit for the summer http://www.tssc.org.uk/profile.asp?profile=71257&vehicle=20040527132159748126653

When I was looking for a cheap fun car an MX5 was top of the list, but I felt the Spitfire doesn't have such a girlie image. Also as I was planning to work on the car myself as a hobby, the fact the bonnet opens the same way as a E-Type means it is really easy to work on, and no electonics in a Classic car , unlike an MX5.

It cost me 2,500, which is a lot, but I got one with absolutely sound bodywork, because I'm OK with mechanicals, but hopeless at anything bodywork wise. It has never broken down, always passes an MOT, costs £100 a year fully comp and will not depreciate.

Have a look at them, there are plenty around for either side of £1,500, and I don't believe they are unreliable.

Was there not a "targa" type removable roof on the old Vauxhall Tigra ? That's got to be cheap. Citroen 2CV ?

Talbot Samba Cabriolet

Well, if I had one I'd pay YOU 1500 to come and take it away
