It depends on its condition. If it’s in top shape it would be worth advertising it through one of the enthusiast type classified magazines, or even a classic car auction. If it’s not up to scratch trade it in, put a ‘For Sale’ sign on it and park it in prominent places. You could also advertise it on sites like Carsguide.
If you don’t want a convertible, which rules out the MX-5 as my easy first pick, then the 86 is the car for driving enjoyment on a reasonable budget. But don’t overlook its Subaru twin, the BRZ, which is my choice of the two. Both get The Tick, having shared our Car of the Year award.
Wow, that is a major change of direction. Before you make such a change I would suggest you actually test drive each of the cars you're thinking of to see if they really suit you. The Mazda MX-5 is a two-seater and not very practical for instance. It's hard to advise you because we don't anything about what you want from the car you buy. If it was me I would probably buy the MX-5, I would have no problem with a two-seater.
