Roy; look up Volvo P 1800.:thumbsup:
Some of us older fellows just don't fit the sport in image anymore. Once into the little car we can't get out or is it once out we can't bend enough to get back in!:laughing::laughing:
I have owned a few Austin Heally Sprites both the slab side as well as the bug eyed ones. I prefer the bugeye by a wide margin. A bugeye with a Mazda rotary and tranny/driveline, axle etc is a very sporty combo. Does 130MPH in a heartbeat.
At 6' 2" and about 240-250 lbs (then) I didn't so much get into a Sprite as "put it on" like a "car suit." Once in it was as cozy as a fighter cockpit.
Was a time when sports cars were distinguished from small powerful expensive cars by a simple test. Does it have roll up windows or does it have side curtains.

Side curtains are removable transparent side windows NOT RELATED to air bags.

Those 2002's (especially the Ti and Tii models) are what made BMW's reputation as sporting machines. Nice cars!!
They are prone to rust and body parts might be difficult to obtain. I think they still have a pretty good following by BMW enthusiasts though.
