I was having a conversation with someone at work and she says she's always wanted a sports car but it has to have pop-up headlights (don't ask me why!) Since they don't do them any more I said she'd have to get something quite old.

I can think of a few;
60's Lotus Elan
90's Mazda RX7
90's BMW 8-Series
80's Mk1 Toyota MR2
The Elan will definitely be expensive

I always liked pop-up headlights as a kid but I think things have moved on now. There are plenty of good reasons not to have them nowadays.
Back to my original question - what is the newest car to have them?

Porsche 944 or 968, still a quick car point to point.
Although a decent mk1 MR2 is great fun I loved mine and very cheap to run iirc
