with no sunroof
Great minds think alike. An e28 would be my first choice but e30 would mean more space around the car to work and move. Avoiding a rotten one is definitely sound advice but will be getting a welder eventually so hopefully helps.
@ricky2slicky neither MR2 nor Boxter get me excited personally, 944 maybe, but again I think they're probably out of my price range. No love for the MGB?

Don’t know owt about them. Look sexeh tho.

That MGB looks great, but is about as far from original as it is possible to get. I have had several and in standard trim they look great but are very slow, don't go round corners and don't stop, don't get me started on the lights.... £5k would get a very good 3.0i Z4, it's what I paid for mine, a very different level of performance!

I saw a great E28 525 for sale recently, just got to remember where.

ahh, if my memory has been jogged sufficiently, you had a really tidy, well sorted NA or NB MX5 previously; correct?
If the Boxter/MR2 don't get you going I can understand that. 944's have been dragged up with the prices of 911's going bonkers. I love MGB's/BGTs but I'd just worry that getting a nice, solid example might be hard given your budget and making a nice car out of a rough one will break your heart and your wallet. Sports and classic cars shouldnt always make sense though. If I was going for something like that I'd probably go for a Midget/Healey Sprite as I always like the size of them. Then again, a cursory glance on car and classic makes me think this > https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1283177 could be a load of fun...
Maybe I'm the person to take any advice from.

In that case bottom of the range e30 with no sunroof.
MK1 is easy to work on, but finding one that isn't rusty.
