Alex and I are doing the 1,000-kilometer Maple Mille this September and we’re shopping for a new (to us) car to take on it! Primarily looking at small British sports cars. What would you like to see us drive on this rally/tour/adventure?
EDIT: Folks recommending fancy cars, we have like a $2-3k budget! But if anyone here wants to lend us an E-Type please do

Anything wrong with a Lotus Elan? That would be my pick.

Then the answer is even clearer:
E21 3-Series
Or a Mustang II

Spitfire or MGB? Midget maybe? Or maybe something less of a typical sports car, like a Triumph Dolomite or a Triumph 2000.

1) Find a rusted out 240z
2) Use duct tape and adjustable clamps to shore up the rusted-out frame/body/suspension
3) Pretend it’s a Jag

I think you should go Miata. It’s the best british roadster ever made and it’s parts are legos.

It isn’t and we won’t. Plus, the rally is pre-1975.
