OK as some of you on here are intelligent I thought you might be able to help me out 
Mate of mine currently runs a DB7 Vantage and a Lexus 250 as his classic and daily runner / family bus. Due to his wife acquiring a 525 Touring he no longer needs to provide the family bus and so he has decided to sell both the Aston & Lexus and buy a modern sportscar that he can use daily. My challenge is to help him find something:-
I though you guys might like to help too.....
The Brief
Budget upto £45k
Age: 2006 Onwards
Mileage: less than 30k
Comfortable , daily commute is 120miles but occasionally unto 250 per day,
2 (or 2+2) Seater that stand out from the crowd - would like a ragtop (but not essential). Needs to be different so no hot major brands, i.e. M cars, RS Audi etc - in fact mainstream products are probably non starters.
No silly servicing costs, but this is flexible, after all he has owned an Aston
Performance must be strong, Would prefer an auto (not essential but he is getting lazy these days), economy is not a concern but given the mileage anything in the 20s would be better than something in the teens.
I think that's all I can think of.
My initial list for him to consider is:-
Aston Vantage or DB9 - (he does like his Astons)
Maser Gransport or GranTurismo (he loves my Spyder)
Lotus Evora (a bit off the wall but I hear lots of good things about them)
