I think you have to decide whether you really want to wrench on it yourself. German cars are likely going to be more involved/expensive to fix (even an older one like a 928). They do generally have the advantage of being logically laid out and satisfying to work on though.
Do you ever read Peter Egan articles in R&T? He always makes old british roadsters seem like a good idea. But it sounds like you want 4 seats.
Is there any affordable iteration of older 911/912 still available? Or has that ship completely sailed? I'd vote no on the e36/46 since you've been there/done that.
Early Golf GTI?
Or, what about a 70s Datsun 280Z? 2+2 and 6 cylinder.. Beautiful cars.
