A good cheap convertible
I'm looking for a good to drive cheap convertible, with a budget of £2000.
I realise that condition is all important at this price, and I am considering Peugeot 205 and 306, BMW E36 or Audi 80.
Do you have any recommendations or alternatives?

The 306 is so good looking it is set for classic status. But the cars are very heavy and slow due to the chassis reinforcements. The Audi 80 cabrio is a lump. E36 best, but dearest and most likely to have a dodgy history. 205 way past it and falling apart by now.
