Which Car would you buy tomorrow if they built them again.

The excuse was, if you can believe it:

They said it would loose a massive 5 bhp, because of changes needed to the manifold!

IIRC: The quote was in Autocar or Motor?

I, for one would not have minded!

At least Merc. let us have RHD 190E 16V Cossies in both 2.3l and 2.5l form. Bit tarty inside though!

 

I like the fact that those cars are only available in LHD same as the Golf Rallye adds to the charm in my opinion.

 

you could ask ring brothers to make you one

 

A guy on our street had one of these at the time I was rollin' on my Grifter... loved it... forgot about them, and love them all over again. Maybe this would be my choice... possibly:

 

240z with LS v8-awesome

 

Just need to make it snap dragon yellow now

 

AKA morris minor front suspension

 

Better?

 

ha you could use one of the mini/metro Vtec kits on it and have something er....unique

 

or fit a rover v8 on a princess box like viku's mini

 

Stop it McStu, My sides hurt now with all this laughing.

Right, I want that Orange Maxi in Kawasaki green with my silver 5 spoke Speedlines.

 

brings back memorys

bad ones

 

the good old Rover V8 or should I say Land Rover V8 as they were built at solihull plant

I would love a BMW e28 M5. Hand built with a proper M power engine in a sheeps clothing



I had an E28 2.7 eta. Had a stroked 2.5 m20 engine from the factory. We fitted a 3.64 diff for more fun

 

aye a nail head on a princess gearbox, wonder why they never did that in house?

 

did what in house

 

fit the v8 on the princess box, it would have made the maxi more fun

 

Do it...

to the power of a bazillion.

Now I am just going to have to wipe the curry off the monitor that I exhaled whilst laughing my ass off.

 

Ha ah:

A Ford Cortina Lotus Mk1b. With nasty cart leaf spring rear suspension!

The:

Ford Lotus Cortina Mk1a, with an A-Frame coil spring suspension, was much better!
