[net.auto] Which classic sports car to buy?

Subject: Which classic sports car to buy?

Given the recent interest in older sports cars, I thought I would pose a
question to the group.  A dream of mine, to own a classic sports car, has
recently been rekindled.  If I were to go out today to buy a classic sports
car what type of car would be a good prospect?  It would have to be one that
is easy to work on, easy to get parts for, and isn't too expensive.  Easy to
work on because I'm a relative novice at this type of thing.  Here's a  
hopefully list of possibilities.  My personal favorite is the Lotus though
it may not be the most feasible.  

	Lotus Europa (John Player Special)
	Porsche 911 or 912
	BMW 2002tii
	MG (any of the older models)
	Triumph
	Ferrari
	Aston-Martin
	Austin-Healey
	Cobra
	Corvette
	Mustang
	Shelby
