What vehicle/s do you really want?


Recommended Posts

By looking at the lists I reckon there's the potential for group owning of some of these cars, especially for most of us where the prices have headed north. It would require some thinking in terms of location of members, storage and maintenance costs but nothing beyond the realms of possibility.

What happened to AS, 4 pages and nobody want's a Tagora?

Dismissed that as I thought you already owned them all.

I'm still waiting to pounce on anyone who says PT Cruiser. There must be someone here.

I will add a Peugeot 104, 204 & 304 to my list

 

Good call; never had the opportunity but apparently they were all a good steer.

If you've driven a Samba, Visa or LNA you've driven a 104 that has been tweaked. Excellent motors on the road, quite comfy for a city car.

 

The 205 was a effectively 104 with the 305's torsion beam rear suspension to make it even sharper on the road. It was later widened to make the 309 and 306, all excellent handling cars.

 

Not driven a 204 or 304, but they're both pretty little motors, effectively twins - same chassis, same engines, the 304 had a longer nose.

 

Plus I like old Peugeots.

I'll stick to cars that are already or might just be about within my budget one day i.e. cheap.

 

BMW E36

Lexus LS400

Jaguar XJ6 /300

Jaguar S Type

VW Phaeton

Mercedes W220 S Class

Diesel Mercedes W124

Mercedes W140

Renault 19

 

Less affordable and likely just a pipe dream would be:

 

Something British, affordable and from the 1950s, perhaps a Hillman Minx.

Triumph Toledo or 1300 FWD

Renault 12

Renault 6

Renault 4

Fiat 132

Alfa Romeo Alfa 6

Early 1980s Alfa Romeo Guilietta

Datsun Bluebird 180B

Datsun Cherry 100A or F11

Datsun Cedric from the 1970s or early 1980s

MG Metro

I've had a 304 (van), it was streets ahead of the Bedford HA I had at the same time.

Me.  I've had one (that I paid retail for) and would be delighted to do it again.

Valiant Charger if money was no option then an R/T with the Bathurst tank.

Ford Falcon Coupe, may as well have a GT (most of them seem to be these days) either an XA with the RPO83 options (where they used up the hot bits after the 150mph super cars scare) or one of the Bathurst special build XC cobras.

 

Droop snoot 2 door viva in rat black on weller wheels preferably running a V8 with zoomie pipes, with a jack up kit at the rear for the rodded in the 70s/80s look.

 

Obscure trials bikes a plenty to add to the collection.

 

RD350LC with all the period tuning bits, I could never afford one when they were less expensive and the 250DX I had instead was a massive disappointment

 

Stupid big bore MX bike with sidecar.

Sidecar trials outfit.......

 

May as well add a housebus and a plot of land with some woods whilst I'm dreaming....

Posted

Land Rover 110 V8

Jag XJS V12

Volvo 265 with the PRV

Saab 99 Turbo in black - early as possible.

Renault 5Gordini ( for sentimental reasons)

Renault 16TX (As above)

 

More exotic...

Bristol 404

Jowett Jupiter

 

Squirrel2... dreaming.

Posted

Oh....need to add to my list, Suzuki Cappuccino.

 

Selling mine was a seriously idiotic decision.

Posted

BMW e39 m5

BMW 320si

Citroen c6

Cortina xr6

VW phaeton

Opel Manta

Lancia Fulvia

 

The m5 is the car I remember wanting the most for the longest . If I bought one it would no doubt be a huge horror show.

Posted

I entirely forgot that I also want an Alfa Romeo 1750/2000  Berlina (1750 preferred), a BMW 3.0 Si

and a BMW Baroque Angel.

It says 'vee-hickles' in the title, so I add a Tucker Sno Cat, a Unimog 404, a DKW  Munga, a Kaiser Jeep CJ5

and most of all a Lanz Bulldog to the list.

 

Also some Australian chod, in particular a 5.7 litre Holden HQ Monaro.

5.7? Thats the Chevrolet motor. You are clearly not Australian.

 

I would personaly go for the HX LE, the perfect blend of 2 door Monaro styling and Statesman Caprice luxury.

The question is tricky to answer as it depends what I've clapped eyes on recently that has taken my fancy. At the moment I fancy an A40 Somerset (my dad had one) and a Consul that a local classic dealer has in stock. Both are too old/frail/expensive to be serious contenders. I also quite fancy a Fiat Uno, no idea why. And an MX5, the MGB (been there, done it) of the 21st century.

Posted

Thinking about it again there are some cars I really want to own one day.

 

Series 3 XJ6

First gen MX5

Volvo 850 Turbo, normal T5 will do, preferably a Manual.

Some sort of Turbo Kei car.

Original Saab 900

Carina II (Corona), love these but I guess Corolla is just a smol version anyway.

Datsun 100a

Any sort of affordable 1970's car to be fair.

Any sort of affordable 1980's car too to be honest.

 

And that is why I said my list usually get scary long sometimes.

Posted

Top of my list are 1964 Ford Mustang, Jaguar E Type S1 4.2 FHC, 1960s Jaguar S Type 3.4 litre, Ford Capri 280, Ford Granada Scorpio Cosworth, Subaru Impreza Turbo, Lotus Elise S1, Volvo V70 T5, Chrysler PT Cruiser and World War 2 Willys Jeep

 

Edit, forgot the Morgan, Lancia Delta Integrale Evo 2, Ford Puma 1.7, Bedford VAL coach (as featured in the Italian Job) and Escort Cosworth

Chrysler PT Cruiser 

 

 

I can help you realise your dreams for £300, my friend.

 

But...

There are no kangaroos in Austria, no.

 

What did I do wrong?

Holden cars should have Holden motors! None of this inferior American nonsense.

Holden purists, the kind that bludgeon Ford owners with hammers, fell that Holden cars must have Holden motors and that was that.

Is the 350 not a Holden motor engine?

Nope, it’s a Chevy small block.

What do I really want?

 

I have a Stellar now so that is off the list. My top five then, in no particular order;

 

Yue Loong Feeling.

FSO Polonez - an MR87, in red, on Wellers.

Proton Saga. Has to be an 8 valve saloon with no PAS.

Hyundai Pony Gold Medal (to go with the Stellar).

A really nice, not rotten Senator 3.0i.
