Why are there no true sports convertibles sub £20k with decent engines????

There's always a way of making a Caterham work. Do it.

Now you say that..... LOL

I cant think of any though bar selling the Corrado, putting the Caterham in the garage and buying a MK4 TDi...

This would work, but Im a bit scared of the bills   Plus maybe a little big. Think I will have a weekend test driving next weekend!

I was going to say an SL55, though I didn't think it met your age/mileage criteria.

He said true sports convertibles. The S4 is not one of those

Fair point 

How about an M3 convertible

The S2000 generally seems a little marmite, but I've always enjoyed driving them.

I'd be very tempted by a late spec' with a rotrex.

Great cars on track too - they really come alive and demand to be driven properly.

A colleague of mine has a SL500, granted it's not the AMG 'charged version, but it's definitely a relaxed crusier for carrying golf clubs. It's too heavy really @ >1800kg!

Fair point on SL

Do like the S2000 and rotrex would beef up the torque, but really want to keep to a standard car for my daily. Nice suggrstion tho, would love to try one :)

Friends garage has two Z4M's coupe and roadster, lovely cars, sound fantastic!

My friend had the SL Brabus K8, mapped to 685hp, once over 120mph the acceleration is relentless and endless it just doesnt stop pinning you against your back seat
