Fastest and best...? If you mean something that does it all, including comfort, then probably a Jaguar E-Type is probably the default choice. If you want something that's more raw and sport focused, then I'd say a Lotus Elite or Elan... maybe a Europa if you're feeling spicy? Even spicier still, and quite a "if you know you know" type car, consider the TVR Griffith 200. It was supposedly violently fast and extremely twitchy, but was near untouchable in the right hands. Very eccentric choice, thoug, but I could imagine an ex-racer wanting one of those, just to be different.
