Which Car???????

As most of you are aware the other half (blackskygtr) has his skyline and to be honest I feel a bit left out :?
I have always fancied doing up another car and following the Big Power meet in Jan I have decided in order to enable me to participate at the meets and give me something to do whilst Jay is tinkering around with the skyline (can't do much else :-D ), now is as good a time as any to do this.
However the decision of what to do is now causing some headaches.
I have a limited budget for the initial purchase and I am hoping to get something I can restore and work on myself, so looking for something probably pre 1985 ish as I also like the old school look (and price). Not overly bothered if running or not as I would also like to learn more about the internal working so would prob pull it to bits anyhow (wait for the call Gary "It won't go back together!!"). Bodywise ideally needs to be reasonably solid but will prob end up at H Tech so not too much of an issue if needs some work.
At present I have few options and would like someone other than Jay's opinion
Currently considering:
Datsun 240, 260 or 280.
Opel Manta
MG BGT
MR2 MK1
I have found all of the above in various states of repair for around the
