My line manager at work would like to spend £15K for a car (2nd / brand new) must have open top but SPEED is the top priority but re-sale value is the only thing he concerned about... I have recommended the followings:
1. 03 reg MR2 with ac, leather and the TTE sportpack.
2. newish Mercedes SLK.
3. newsih BMW Z3.
4. can't have mx5 cos he is over 6'3 but he / his mrs love the handling.
5. Vauxhall VX220?
Any comment guys? PLS!!!

Yeah S2000 I have already mentioned that but his lad is 20 and his daughter is 21 so he's a bit worried about the insurance issue... he actually thought about a VW beetle convert b4 but I say no more!!!
a bit concern the build quality about elise (the rover K series engine) cos I don't think they are reliable at all!!!
