What`s your fav old school car and why?

Ford RS200

 

Think my 3 are

1985 Pug 205 T16

Because i loved the Group B Rally cars, its just awesome!!

Audi UR Quattro (liked them before the ashes to ashes hype)

the sound! and well look at it

And a Mk1 Golf GTI Campaign

Because its what got me into vw

 

Mk1 Astra GTE, this was mine ( back in 1994 )....until I mated it with a sherpa van [:^(]

And always had a thing for RS1600i's aswell

 

The Oldsmobile "Curved Dash" -

My daily driver up until I wrapped it round a tree at 5mph a few years back.

 

^^ omg i nearly PMSL at that.. well done TSC

 

i had one of these a RS in white, love it, rusted up on me[:^(]

 

just love em, the only car i have had to get out of and had the key back as it was too fast for me lol, i was only 17 and it was super chipped

 

Vantage, Jonny...Volante is the drop-top...



Way back my Dad had a chance of buying one (a Vantage) but passed it up in favour of an Opel Kaddett (Mk1 Vauxhall Astra).

 

Right now, real world. 190E 2.5-16 Still the perfect compact Q-car for me, so beautifully made and proven out there on track.
That said, a nice 944 S2 holds some appeal and I do like the E28 M5 for being so bloody handsome.


Dreaming a little. Lotus Elite Type 14 Seriously wanting to own one before I die.


Dreaming a lot. Maserati A6GCS/53 Berlinetta Just... epic.

 

saw 2 of these last week and 1 is regularly parked up in wimbledon village

for me it a m111 tina....

 

Cortina mk4 2.0 S in yellow (appart from Satin black S bits).

 

My granny used to rally one of those, back when it was a men's sport. Did pretty well, then she got a Saab (no idea which model) and was cracking at that as well. Then she bought a Lotus Cortina, and had my dad watch the throttle linkage on it when she revved it.
She had it at full chat, it blew flames out of the carb(s?) and my dad dumped the "fire bucket" of sand all over it. One ruined engine. Apparently they don't like sand...

 

I'd settle for a reincarnation of the 1700 x flow chevette again
to drift and drift and drift ......... ah yes.

 

^What an amazing colour. Cool as

 

get my vote a had a few of these and only sold due to crippling fuel and insurance costs!!!


back in the market now Whaaaaaaaaaah Ptsssssh

 

Ford's caribbean turquoise - a 1960s colour choice for Anglias, Consuls et al.

 

I was fortunate enough to see 2 of these in action at a Ferrari track day at Knockhill
-if I recall correctly they had both been driven from Northern Ireland, much respect for that as they are tiny!

They were not the highlight of the day:
It was the brand new F50 getting stuffed into the Armco on the start finish straight!
It was hastily put back into the covered trailer it had arrived on!

My choice of old school car: Mercedes W124 E500
Why: the comfort & engineering is epic in a bog standard one, imagine one fettled by Porsche!

 

Got to be my S1 RS
