Polski Fiat 126p for me please.

Nah, not really, I was taking the BIS!
For two grown ups and two wee ones, how about the following? (Click the image to see the full description):
Just like a MK2 Jag to look at from the outside but with a lovely hemi-headed V8 that renders a radio totally beyond necessity.
There are currently only 21 watchers on the Daimler and that's not a lot for an inexpensive classic that looks really quite good, get in there before someone else does.
edited: another watcher joined in while I was busy posting the link. Buy it, Rich. Please.

But which is the better sound, the silky smooth jag straight 6 or the slightly raughty Daimler v8.

Tell you what mate, I'll send you a cheque for ten million $US and you can pay it into your bank, then send me a cheque for the difference between the cost of the car and the ten million. What could possibly go wrong with that idea?
Anyway, you have a JCB, now
that's extreme wealth!

MX5s are lovely but - and I don't know any easy way to break this to you - they only have two chairs.

S'pose you could always buy two and glue them together?

you could always get a MG-F and turn it in to a limo

plenty of space for 2 adults, 2 kids and a bowling alley.
