What cars are on your 'to own' list?......

[warren t claim]

I'll own either a Lexus IS200 or an X Type Jag this year. I don't really like either of them but I know I'm going to end up with at least one of them.

[phil_lihp]

I'm more or less on a shiters embargo due to zero space but I'm already looking forward to scooping up something cheap and cheerful once the C'eed goes back in a couple of years time. 

 

Currently I'm keen on an early nineties 525TDS or a Bluebird with my sensible head on.  I'm also hankering after another early Kangoo van as I liked my last one a lot despite its many faults and it'd be good to have something to chuck mountains of crap/bikes/boards/dogs into without ruining a brand new car's interior any further.

[warren t claim]

I need another 205 in my life.

[brickwall]

Forgot to mention I do want an XJS. I'll need to dig out my dads old sheepskin coat though.

[Spiny Norman]

I need another 205 in my life.

This.

Not a GTi but just a nice standard 1.1 or 1.4 GL. Either that or a Fiat Uno.

[Albert Ross]

Rover P4 105R

VDP 4 Litre R

1966/7 Humber Imperial with a 9" stretch. (Thrupp & Maberley)

1960ish AC Aceca Bristol or Greyhound.

1952 Buick Straight 8

1968 or thereabouts Pontiac Parisienne Coupe, because of the rear view.

 

Mercedes 600D

1939 Lincoln Zephyr

1949 Pontiac Streamliner

etc.

 

Next week this may change.

[brickwall]

I was just checking out the Imperials on fleabay. Grandpa had one and it's a bloody swish car.

[dome]

Where to start? I'll keep it to Autoshite budget(ish), although maybe not ethos.

 

Opel Manta-the one constant. Needs to be a coupe, standard body wise but with a decent engine and suspension

 

Range Rover Classic-3 door, early as possible.

 

Land Rover Stage 1 V8

 

Citroen CX Turbo II, preferably in silver. Grace Jones optional.

 

Rover 827 Vitesse Fastback, an early one, same as Tony Pond drove round the TT course.

 

Porsche 928-came close but didn't bite the bullet. Yet.

 

Mercedes w126 560SEL-standard, no chrome arches, just as delivered to the CEO in 1986

 

Renault 4, just because.

 

Rover SD1-needs to be a late V8 manual.

 

Skoda Favorit rally rep

 

Skoda Rapide

 

Tatra 603

 

Something big and Yank(my mates don't understand why I don't count my 4.7l Grand Cherokee as a big engine)

 

Alfa GTV6-the proper RWD one, nearly bought one years ago despite it having a fist sized hole in the bulkhead. 

 

Thats today, this may all change tomorrow.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

Interesting looking back 2 years to the start of this thread, I can only see a couple of people who to my knowledge have fulfilled their wishes, even serial shite buyers who've had many other cars not on their lists!

 

My list at 17 when I first passed my test was;

Fiat 128 3P- green

Granada 3.0 S manual signal red no vinyl roof

Rover 3500S red with spare on the boot.

In the intervening 35 years I've not owned any of them even though at various times I could have picked up a nice example of all 3 and still had change from a grand . Something else always came along or circumstances meant I had to buy something else.

About 10 years ago I promised myself a 3 door Rangie, they were everywhere and piss cheap,but... I needed a car for family duties so a succession of Discos took its place- same economy* same rust but not what I wanted .

I've given up on wish lists ,but if anyone sees a red 3.0 S Granny with no vinyl and a 4 speed manual, please let me know ISAs and pensions are for sissys.

[320touring]

My list extends to pretty much anything that has ever been built..

 

Beast get cracking!

[Asimo]

Something two stroke, possibly a late model Wartburg saloon.

6 cylinder Wolseley landcrab, turquoise, automatic*

Ford Crown Victoria, one of the last civilian ones please, in an amusing color.*

Suzuki Grand Vitara, 3 door, and only a red one without that daft spare wheel on the back door.*

Audi A2 1.6, yellow.*

 

*No leather.

[eddyramrod]

An itch that's been nagging at me for some time is, a 70s car-derived van.  So we're looking at Bedford HA, Marina, Escort 1&2, possibly Pug 304 again.  We always had a small van when I was a kid (predating those I've just listed!) and since starting driving I've owned or driven many.  Imp van might be fun.  I'll be very surprised if there's anything viable that I can afford though, even going up a size to the CF/Sherpa/Transit.

[SambaS]

Not much room or time or owt at min, but:

 

TALBOT SAMBA S

TALBOT TAGORA (ANY)

DAIHATSU CHARADE G11 (MANUAL. LOW ROOF)
