Really glad you're signing off the occasion with a car purchase that you can have a bit of fun with. An early TT 1.8t would be good and I think that a nice specced car should be a bit sought after in years to come. If you can find an original one with the baseball leather seats, thats what I'd look for as it echoes the ideas from the concept. I once sold one that hadn't had the recall done to retrofit the spoiler and thats probably a rare car now.
Looking on autotrader, your budget would get you into a later MK1 3.2V6 car which gives you the benefit of the noise of a VR6 but with the much worse fuel economy.
The Alfa would be a good choice if you want something that feels special and is a little bit different from the norm. I can't comment on longevity or build quality of them though.
The other things that would tempt me would be a E46 BMW 330 CI Clubsport or if I was feeling brave an RX8.
If you really wanted something daft there seem to be tonnes of cheap Mercedes CL500's. These win purely on the "This cost someone 75K+ back in 2000! I gave 2 grand for it" stakes
