What do you think is the best classic sports car to buy?

My wife’s best friend will reach a milestone birthday shortly and her husband has offered to buy her a Healey 3000. Her last sports car was a MGF. What would you suggest as a sports car for a stylish and energetic 60 year old lady?

I don't think he'll go far wrong with an R107 series Mercedes-Benz SL. These cars are rapidly appreciating and there's a wide range of engines to choose from to suit each driver. They look great, are reliable and well built, and are excellent to drive.
