British sports cars are awesome. If it were me though I'd just get Mazda's take on the British sports car. They're about as fun (not as light weight though but 2200-2400 pounds due to crash standards is still light by my book) and 100000x more reliable and better built. They seem to attract girls too which is always a plus.
