thatsmacar Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 What do you want and keep hold of? We all have our favourites, some more obscure than others. Let's have it. What I want to get my hands on if I had the space are as follows.Rover 820. Probably saloon this time, had 2 fastbacks. Maybe even the diesel. Include the coupe in that.Rover 418SD turbot estate.Rover Metro/100 with K series engine. Include the diesel. Stupid mpg on that.Volvo diesel estate for dragging the holiday box. I would need a solid beasty for this.DB7. Why not! I'll amend if I remember anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iainrcz Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I know I'll probably get told they're shit but here goes - A Citroen DS, probably a 21 and a Citroen SM. And actually, if someone gave me a mint Austin Maxi in a good colour I'd happily tool about in that. Other than that I'm quite happy shitting myself on wet motorways in my GT 86.

Mrcento Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 This could be a long list, but off the top of my head... The current top of the list is Land Rover Discovery 3.... because who doesn't love expensive unreliability?Range Rover L322 supercharghed, as above, faster.VW Touareg V10 TDI.... as above, but you need a specialist rig for engine workVW Passat B3 TDI Estate... Sentimental reasons, They've gone silly money now, sadly.Fiat Marea 2.0 20v..... Because 5 cylinder Italian police car... Car i possibly regret not buying second mostFiat Croma Turbo... Rarer than rocking horse poo, see B3 passat.Fiat Tipo SedicivalvoleFiat Panda 4x4 SisleyRenault Clio Williams.... My biggest car regret not getting one that was MOT'd and priced at £850 but in need of rear arches. Even spending £2000 on the body and paint i'd have likely tripled my money. Prices of them exploded about 6 months later, can't even get a bare shell for under 2k now. Useable ones start at £5500.BMW E38 750i... Not as good as the 740, but if less is more, just think how much more more could be.... A black one looks and sounds a symphony of evil at start up.Volvo 850 T5, manual, of any flavour.

Mrcento Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo with 6 speed box.They say never meet your heroes, in this case, i'd agree. I love the 20vt coops, there's so, so much right with the LE models and the last ones (where they fitted the bits from the LE like the 6 speed box), but sadly, the gearbox itself isn't one of them. It's just an existing Alfa box and the ratios are all wrong for the 20vt engine. The 5 speed is better. And they are bizarre on insurance for some unbeknown reason. A standard 20vt Coupe isn't bad at all on insurance, pretty much the same as an average warm cooking Mondeo. When it gets to the late ones, the insurance treads into Ferrari territory despite it being a near identical car bar the gearbox!

mercrocker Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I want different things almost every week - not things I could go out and buy but fantasy things. It changes almost every time I buy a lottery ticket.... However two vehicles remain a constant Want. A really nice Mk3 Zodiac. Had a few Mk3s but I want a Nice One. Also a Jaguar 3.4. Not the caddish Mk2 but a muted murky coloured Mk1. With hubcabs. I suppose I should add a 1959 flat top Chevrolet Impala Sport Sedan. With that retina-searing all red interior. Yeah, that would all do.... eddyramrod, Uncle Jimmy and alf892 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinmasters Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 A Crown Vic; that would be the sensible daily. In addition I'd have a Maserati Biturbo, a CX, a BX, a Dolly (not a sprint, but a modified lowly one-has anyone ever put a Saab turbo in one?), a Volvo 700 with a V8, an automatic XM, SD1 (2.6 auto I think), a number of Land Rovers-Defender 90, Disco 4(?), an SM, a J-body yank (I think, the ones that look like Cavaliers), a Fox-body Mustang...I going to bed now but will continue the list in the morning. eddyramrod, LightBulbFun and egg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
