If you could go back and buy any car new.... What would you get?

[Paul_13]

F40 for me

[procta]

[Lolben91]

[Jimbo]

Awesome

[Poodle]

E36 M3 LTW. Reckon the E30 is much prettier, but can't give up the straight-6 noise.

[Jesskendall123]

Mk1 escort Mexico

[Dicky]

Lancia Delta Integrale Evoluzion II

OR

Escort Cosworth

[Uberderv]

One of these -



Or anything that looks like Knight Rider TBH 300zx

[Kezzieboy]

Couldn't possibly choose, many have been mentioned in this thread (Lancia/F40/Hakosuka Skyline/various homologation specials) but Lotus Carlton would be pretty cool I reckon.

Saw a MINT NS-X today and almost came. They fit the OP's requirements as well, able to run on a steady wage. Show me another supercar that isn't a stripped out racer that can do 30mpg...

[underground375]

Mrk1 ford fiesta xr2

[Wolverine1091]

Something abit different:

Alfa 75 IMSA



For sale too: http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C188796 one of 3 built


Or just an alfa 75 3.0 V6 with the lovely evo body kit

[THE_Liam]

Had a 75 V6 myself, was utter crap

[darrenjlobb]

Skyline Hakosuka

Peugeot 205 D Turbo

There's an nsx in the body shop round the back of my unit. So nice!

Alot smaller than you'd imagine a supercar though, they're not much bigger than a 306 really, a lot lower but not hugely different. Tiny cockpit aswell

got be this

same as this guy ^^

[darrenjlobb]

Used to be all over mk1/2 escorts, but see them all the time now, and I cba to support ford and there rusty sheds that they still havent got around to doing anything about 20 years later...

[mr_fish]

Not so much of a fan of the newer ones but older ones are alright.

If I could find one, I would have one of these:



Old man used to have one 'back in the day' I traced his to Scotland, but some git either nicked it or broke it up as it was reported stolen

[THE_Liam]

They aren't anything special to drive either, wheezy old Pinto engine, baulky gearbox, shit ride, shedloads of body roll. The mk1 Golf GTI was a far better car at the time.

But that's what driving an old historic is all about The moment you jump in the thing and turn the key, your thinking "Is this going to start?" then really having to work the motor to get it to perform, frantically looking for the next gear (which your bound to miss) and when wanting to come to a stop you actually need to be looking a good 1000 yards ahead and planning it in a 70s motor.

My 2p anyways

[THE_Liam]

I see your point but none of that applies to a mk1 Golf...
