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.

Jeez man that's gorgeous. The wing tips, the slanted headlights and bonnet. Fit as fuck. And a rude blue interior too! Load of potential there.

Yep that's me, although the car probably looked better in photos. Personally I enjoy the tinkering and learning just as much as driving and after years of wanting and saving I now have a garage so keen to get a long-term project. Maybe I've watched too much car pervert and hubnut but have a hunch buying an already fast modern-ish car wouldn't be enough. I'll keep my eyes peeled the next few months and do some soul searching.

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?
