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

1965 GTA G 4 + Beautiful

 

Not that great then

 

I'm liking this photoshop work

 

In the name of Scotchness, can we have a Hillman Imp to Ned spec pls!

 

Ta monkeyz! You's obviously a 'red' then?

 

I fail, I just typed in Lotus Cortina in google for the pic, I want the good one

 

On it.

 

My mate Pete, S & H Motor Club, had an Holbay 998 Imp Rally Car.

It was very fast. But, the swing axle front suspension, ploughed on, in tight bends!

Check out:

L J K Setright's "Snubeam Imp", in a copy of 'Car Magazine', in the 1970s.

I kept this mag., for years, as the article was so good. But I can't find it at the mo..

 

I just used to carry a sack of spuds around in the front boot of my imp to reduce understeer.

 

Spent two hours on it...f*cked it up...can`t be a*sed now...

 

loving the photoshop work! ha ha

I would love to see any of these built again!

Saab 900 16v turbo



MG Maestro Turbo


Mini ERA Turbo


More turbo lag than you can shake a stick at!

 

The last of the proper Saabs

 

one of these



or



or

some american muscle

 

Escort Cossie, Integrale and Mk2 Escort already covered . I would like to add:

 

A Volvo 262 coupe

 

Is that a 262? Not a 242?

Were they actually called 'Coup'?

Why were there no RHD 242 Turbos? Or, even, RHD 242s, with any engine?


Cos.. Even though the UK market was one of Volvo's best markets, Volvo UK treated the UK with contempt!

Just as Audi UK, VW UK, Opel UK, BMW UK, &c. did.

We were made to buy, four door crap mobiles, when the rest of the LHD world,
got decent LHD two door cars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![:^(]

 

they were called the 262 because they where 6 cylinder and 2 doors,
No they weren't actually called coupe at all,
you can't have a RHD turbo as the exhaust downpipe would foul on the steering rack,
Don't think they did them in RHD or am I thinking about the 700 series 2 door which were LHD only

 

Used to know someone with a 264, had the alloy block V6 engine from a Renault, same as that fancy Renault Alpine IIRC.

What is the world coming too. Was at my mates garage today and he had a Ford Fiesta and Pug 307 on two adjacent ramps, same TD engine in them both.

 

Show me your caravans!

 

the old PSA renault/peugeot lump
