Now't to do with me, and not really my cup of tea, but if you like Manta's, then I guess you could do a lot worse...
Manta
Link
I so wanted one of those when I was 18, a old guy on our street had one in white, I was so jealous, when I was driving round in a 1977 datsun 100A at
the time
I had one, I had one, I had one...
(When I was 7 or 8) 
It was in a beige/gold colour with a brown vinyl roof - sounds horrible, but looked the dog's in the day!
Its nice but not quite as nice as this....

My Dad had a White Manta GTE thank looked like that when I was a nipper.
Don't think it would have gone like that one will though.....
Looks a real hoot.
Dna
I had one as my second ever car (~1989) Berlinetta Model, as the thinking mans Capri.
Cost £400 silver, known as "the beast".
It had the early 2litre engine which was a massive lump of cast iron (later engines were better).
I swapped the autobox for a manual.
Written off when a truck drove into me whilst stationary and I got £450 from insurers. Drove it for a year after that.
Very cheap motoring.
Heavy on fuel and tail happy in the wet, but good fun. I used to store it in a multi-story during term time, the battery used to die and so I used to
bump start it down the ramps (quite a dangerous game).
Some good memories, not a car I crave.

While we're on Mantas..
Even Better (IMHO)
I had a white GT/E hatch just like that original one 
.
They never had those nasty rubbing strips down the sides though.
A few bits even found their way onto the Locost (steering column, pedal box, master cylinder, seats, rev counter, switchgear and a few more bits )
volvo power !!
pffft all the wrong shape!
This is what you want, running tuned redtop goodness
