I don't need another car, I don't have space to park another car, parts availability must be a nightmare since it's likely one of the only in Canada. But damn it do I want it.

Funny that this has been unearthed, I was just discussing a car with @DerStig earlier after it caught my attention.

Things I like/want in a fun sports car:

RWD -
Convertible -
V8 -
Pop-up headlights -
Classic British -
No metal body to rust -

Notoriously bad electrics -
Thirsty engine without much power as a reward -
Flammable -
Can get high from the resin used in the body -

I like the MX-5, the MGB GT V8, the Fiat X1/9, etc. This seems like the perfect mix. This one is even cheap because it's been 'asleep' and is slowly being revived. The seller claims to have done most of the work. Paint isn't the prettiest, it would be interesting to know how much a respray of a car like this would cost.
