Buy the Eunos and bag the change.

At this price level, if reliability is a priority it surely has to be Japanese.
Toyota Celica or MR2 should give you plenty of choice.
Old Italian cars tend to be very unreliable. Owners call this 'character'

My six pennies worth - Audi Coupe from the 88-96 period. Eg:

a MINT xr2i in red/white all the fun of the fair and ultra reliable

Get an MX5 and leave the roof up.
Seriously if its PURE fun you want the MX5 is the most fun for £3000 and it wont ever break either.

What\'s for you won\'t pass you by

Toyota Supra.
Everyone goes for the auto with leather but for a fun car go for the manual with cloth and you'll get top value.

You do not necessarily have to be 'very lucky' with the Alfa GTV, but you do need to be sensible about what example you buy. If it's been properly looked after and maintained, it'll be as reliable as anything else.
Another possibility, which falls into the same category, is a Fiat Coupe.

honda crx/civic?

Fiat Barchetta with a hard top?
Faster than an MX5 mk1/Eunos, cheaper, more exclusive.
Plus mine has been reliable.

Hi - Honda Civic 1.8VTi. About S-Reg. Fun, practical and reliable.

This screamed out MX5 at me before reading the replies. I would recommend a Puma 1.7, family member has owned one for 5 years going on 6, other than a failed wheel bearing and routine servicing has cost nothing to run. It's had some money spent on it's brakes recently, oh and a new pair of front tyres. I uses no oil and has a fine engine. Handling is superb as is the superb gearchange that belies the fact that its a f.w.d.

How about a nice 205 1.9 GTi for about a grand and pocket the rest?
|
Where where where???
I've always fancied one of these for some cheap summer fun.
