What's the best modern classic for under £10k?

I have £10,000 to spend on a modern classic convertible. Could you advise on the most 'collectable' car on the market? I was considering either a Mk1 Audi TT or Mercedes-Benz SL.

Better a BMW Z3 3.0i. Mk I TTs have lots of problems. SLs have rust issues and problems with their roofs. Look them all up in www.honestjohn.co.uk 'Good and Bad' sections.
