Cars similar to the Austin Healey Sprite?

I’m going to be getting a new car soon, and I’ve been looking at classic convertible cars. My absolute favorite has been a 65′ Austin Healey Sprite (not the bug-eyed ones). However I don’t think it is quite the right car for me because one, it is an old British car so parts will be expensive, and two, its definitely on the small end of cars.
So does anybody know of a car that looks somewhat like the Sprites but larger and if possible American made? I’m not looking for huge cars, but the Sprites look oddly small to me.
This is an Austin Healey Sprite: http://www.shannons.com.au/library/images/auctions/VA3644CD8BSA45G0_medium.jpg

And if there is no such car, any suggestions for cute classic cars that are on the more affordable end would help me out too.

the closest one is the mini cooper

That means lusting after, buying, selling, driving, maintaining, even scrapping. "Classic cars" are those built since 1950 that can be run everyday – nearly 60 years later – and "budget" generally means under $20,000 US. Rob Sass, both writer and attorney, has been frantically buying and selling such classics since high school. eBay and Craigslist have complicated his lifestyle Rob is a longtime contributor to the New York Times–as their "classic car expert"–and to Keith Martin’s Sports Car Market magazine and Cars That Matter where he adds commentary about classic car values. He’s right on the button – amusing, soulful, and wide ranging.
