Really amazed that "some" major manufacturer hasn't created a bare bones small sports car. I think it would sell like crazy. Closest thing I can think of is the Miata MX5, 500 Abarth, S2000 ? these are not basic cars though. Packed with features I assume because that's what we the buyers want? The '60s and '70s sports car market is outta control ( have you seen the price of a nice 914 lately? ). The only way to obtain a nice TR6,914,911,944,Opel GT,Spitfire,Fiat 124,Alfa,Sonett - etc is to pay the price for a garage queen, or restore it yourself ( not many of us have that ability or facility to do so ) or pay the high price of restoration. Then theres parts sourcing issues etc. A modern car representative of this classic sports car age would sell. Power windows, ABS, proper emissions, yes, just leave out all the other gizmos.
