What fun convertibles are good for under £10k?

I came to the world of driving in my late 30s and while learning I bought a Daihatsu Copen. I'd like another convertible - are there any other relatively recent convertibles for under £10k that will give great fun? Ideally with a hard top.

Take a look at the Mazda MX-5. They lack the rarity appeal of the Daihatsu Copen but there's a reason they're so popular. £10,000 will get you a late third-generation model - you'll want the Roadster Coupe for the folding hard top roof. Alternatively, the Honda S2000 is a more serious sports car, but you might have to shop around a bit more to find a good one.
