The newest Caterham Sevens are perfect.
The Caterham Seven, formerly the Lotus Seven, has been in production since 1957. There have been changes and improvements over the years, like the option of a wider chassis, modern tech updates, and more, but the formula has never strayed far from the original.
The doors still come off. You are still the side impact zone. Hell, you can still buy it as a kit and build it yourself . Every few years, Caterham updates the Seven in a seemingly minor, but meaningful, way. The most recent was the 600, a Seven with a 660cc Suzuki engine from a kei car. It wasn't fast by any modern standard, but it was apparently a blast to drive, letting you wring it out constantly without ever really breaking any laws. The newest updates take the 600 and a new 2000 model, closely related to the 2.0 liter Ford Duratec-powered 360 variant, and make them retro awesome. I saw them briefly this past weekend at the Goodwood Revival, and they were a symphony of brown, a wonderful revival of Seventies style with modern touches that'd make any light car enthusiast swoon. The 2000, which is the version that will come to America, has 180-hp, a DeDion rear end, LED taillights, and wonderful Smiths gauges, pretty much the only gauges that should be allowed on British cars. You can also option it with the wider chassis. It's better for taller or wider folks, since they can now fit, but it changes the Cat's perfect proportions.It comes in a bunch of fantastic heritage colors, and even some new ones that have never been on a Seven before, like that deep champagne, dubbed Bourbon.
