Mook Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Being in need of another toy has got me thinking about buying an eighties or nineties lump of metal (think spending five days non-stop in the Scumball Scirocco started it), but I'm stuck with about five options - none with stupid performance, but reasonably quick all the same... Audi Ur-Quattro 20V Lancia Delta Integrale Alfasud Green Cloverleaf 1.7 VW Corrado VR6 Porsche 993 Targa (just love the look of them) What would you buy?

shark_90 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Cortina GT. But I was only born at B reg, so I don't think I'm really eligible to answer this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M8CKN Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Mk1 RS Turbo Escort. RS 1600i Escort. Loved them both, searched for a good one in 1995 but ended up with a Mk2 XR2 which was my pride & joy. Wished ever since I'd have looked for logner to get an Escort though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Esprit Turbo Lotus Elan Turbo Aston Martin Vantage V8 (and still want one!) Alfa Romeo SZ Zagato (again, I'd love one nowadays!)

Milo Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 For me it has to be a 1985 RS Turbo in white or if not available a circa 1990 model in red. I lusted after these cars when I was younger alas the insurance was several thousand even back then They look dated now but I still intend getting one at some time ebay have had some cracking examples recently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark_90 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 A Series 1 RS Turbo has a lot of respect in my book. I saw one on the M1 Southbound a couple of Sundays ago, pootling along doing 60 with an RST forum sticker in the window. It looked immaculate, and the guy looked proud as punch. And quite rightly too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theduisbergkid Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Well, at the time I always wanted a MK1 Astra GTE (black), or an Opel Manta. Regarding the more exotic stuff, Porsche 959 would be nice. I think the Alfa SZ can be had for sensible money, and the Corrado VR6 would be a safe bet (a bit 'plain jane' for me). How about a TVR S2 instead ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M8CKN Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 RS 500 Cosworth. Rare and good examples still go for silly money but would still love one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
encee Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I still hold onto the hope, that Ford will, one day, manage to resurrect the modern-day Capri, and make a thorougly good job of it, but alas, I don`t think I`ll ever see the day.

shao_khan Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Lotus Carlton - fantastic car, My Dad had a pre-production variant for a few weeks and it was just mind blowing performance and as a kid (well ok 20yr old) never was allowed to drive it. My Sister had one for her wedding car! Audi 80 20v - brother had one in Burgandy with Beige trim - I loved it and used it whenever he wasnt around. Audi Coupe - Brother had one of these in Orange as well - good taste runs in the family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rothwell Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Intergrale HF Turbo Evo... Mind blowing stuff. Or Capri 2.8 Special, old Lamborghini Jalpa or Urraco. What did you want to spend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 [ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] Milo, a friend, or ex-acquaintance of mine, has a red RS Turbo identical to that - and it is incredibe. He bought it from an auction and has spent the best part of 18 months restoring it to its original condition. He's not mechanically minded as such and has spent a lot of money in garages to do the job - but it has been well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] A mint non chav RS Turbo with reasonable milage will fetch good money nowadays, if he doesn't feck it up, keeps mileage down, he should make a bit of money on that in years to come.

NewNiceMrMe Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 I think thats his plan, although he'd previously done a Rover 220 Coupe up too and then he got rid of it because he got bored without a 'project' to keep him occupied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
