It depends on what you mean by "reasonably priced." ;=) If you want a closed
car, under $20K, acceptable by the most picky clubs, then yes, the 750 (or
101) Alfa Sprint is a great choice. As you go up in price, there are a lot
more choices. If Monterey this year was any indication, a 356 Porsche coupe
is a good choice. ;=(  The sky's the limit, right? How about an Aston Martin
or Jag coupe? A Ford GT40?  Hell, even a Shelby GT350 isn't THAT expensive.
In the US, Corvettes and Shelbys are very easy to get parts for, and there
are plenty of engine builders to choose from.  How fast do you want to go?
