There are some reasonable looking ones on the autotrader website for 5K, 7K should get you a reasonable amount of choice.

2.2 N/A VX220 is the other one to consider.

as above, S200 is a nice 2 seater.

if she dont give a crap about performance then MX5s seem popular

boxsters also nice but dunno what youd get for 7k

i think you'd be pleasently supirsed by these, its not gonna beat a sportcars but performance is similar to most modern hot hatches, and the handling is sublime. you'd get a real nice one for 7k and it would be bullet proof and when you borrow it, you always have the 'its not mine' line........cos you will borrow it.......lots!

Regards my earlier X19 comment I was taking the piss, but it got me thinking, there's also the Fiat Barchetta, think they only came in LHD or ar quite rare in RHD, good option and different, don't know anyone that's ever had one though so it might be shit.
