What's a good sports car on a £5k budget?

I am looking for a 2+2 sports car with small back seats. I have a budget of £3-5k and ideally want something with a decent reliability record. Any thoughts please?

An Audi TT might be a good choice. Your budget will get you a really nice first-generation example (which is bordering on future classic status) or an early second-generation model. The latter still looks like a modern car and has a lovely interior. Buy carefully, though, they're not bulletproof...
