View Full Version : What classic car would you like to own??
I suppose this will depend on which era you are from so you can choose 4 in the order of, 1/practical classic, 2/affordable classic, 3/dream classic. 4/ 4x4 classic.
My choices as follows.
1/ Audi quattro UR turbo.
2/ Triumph stag, and i Will own one of these.
3/ audi s1 group B rally car, not that i have the skills to drive it fast...
4/ nissan patrol 60 series swb. (not the y60 but the 1960's era)..
So whats yours????

Nah, what you want is a 1969 Plymouth Roadrunner with the hemi engine option.
:cool:
Will out drag any 1980's Porsche 911, and it's the size of a cricket pitch.
Coolest muscle car out.

I'm very lucky to own a 1972 Triumph GT6, and also up and coming classics are a 1995 Toyota MR2 NA and 2003 BMW Z4 3.0 roadster. I owned a Stag many years ago, best V8 sound track in my opinion
I would like a Ford Fiesta XR2 MK1

A Jaguar XJS with the V12 engine, and all the fuel paid please.
Or, money not considered, and only based on a classic car: the Eagle Low Drag GT (http://www.eaglegb.com/pages/eagle-low-drag-gt#.VrJdSsenOlI).
I'm an old school ford fan at heart so it'd have to be a mk1 or 2 escort.
Closely followed by a lotus sunbeam ti, corolla ae86 or a 70's skyline.
There are many old school that I'd happily own but we'd be here all day

Speaking of classic cars, do people prefer them restored to factory condition or modified?
Factory for me please.
MG B GT, oh yeah I already do own:thumbs
A mint condition Terrano
Grey Fergie Tractor, does this count:doh

You can't have the tractor, or I want a Small hovercraft, and a Hagglunds bv206. :D:D
I like personalised Factory.. So it can have things like Spot Lights, Trims, and minor mods to engine and running gear, just like a "Normal" person would have done in the era, but not these ripped apart things, where they then stick an old body on a custom chassis, with some American planet killing noisy lump in it, and basically the only bit that is still original is the boot lid.

Jeez you sound like my wife, she says I can't have that tractor too:lol
I hate to see classic cars ripped open because there are so few left. When I see old vw's with the roof lowered and small windows, eek.
Still each to their own I suppose.

Careful, the Americans were running engines on unleaded waaaaaaay before Europe.

while the French thingy has been a good car , it doesn't even come close to any of the cars listed above jim
Rather than buy a classic car, I decided to buy the Maverick nearly 21 years ago, and wait until it is declared a classic...:augie
I'm still waiting.
I'm running out of time :eek:
How much longer do I have to wait, and when do I qualify for free road tax lol....? :nenau
