2) Must be interesting; should offer a good driving experience

3) Must have decent image / brand.

Any ideas I'm missing ... and how terrible are these to own?

1) 996.1 C4S Convertible 6MT
Bore scoring issues?

2) V8 Vantage (the manuals are in 30k range)
Automated manual can't be converted to a stick shift; 4k clutch replacements

3) 2015+ Cooper S JCW (B48 + 6MT)

4) R107 + rear bench
Heard R129 is a total pain; the many computer modules can't be found for repair
