Lets say you have free cash and the space, knowledge to upkeep it etc etc etc,,, Not talking "classics" in the Aston DB5 range, i am talking cars from your youth you would love to own now.

Miy shout from the winning 500k thread was a Pug 205 Gti 1.6.

Maybe also like a mini cooper, but thats from before my time, but i still owned one many years ago.

Others i would consider, renault 5 Turbo 2 (the Mk1, Rear engine), Lancial Delta Integrale, Audi Quattro (Can u tell i like Group B rally?)

Anyway, car from your era you would love to own now... go!!

Escort RS Cosworth, the mk1 large turbo with extra injectors : )
 
The HF turbo in full martini decals......

I did own an RS turbo, lowered with mods that took it to a little over 160 BHP
 
Yellow Triumph Stag soft top. Probably swap the engine out for a 3.5 Rover engine, as the Triumph was prone to blowing the head gasket.
 
Too many to chose from

The bog standard ones

XR2i then XR3i

Williams Clio

RS Turbo

All cars I owned at some stage

Would have loved a RS Cosworth and HF Turbo would have been a dream

Best "hot hatch" I owned was my Civic Type R bought in 2002 - loved it
 
Renault Clio V6

They're a real collectors item now.

I would've loved a 205 GTi back then, and if a mint one came up and I had the space and money to collect some cars I'd probably go for it.
 
None. Glad to see the back of them. No wireless, no heating, and no power steering. Not to mention having to try and get that Morris Cowley going with a starting handle.
 
I'd have my Talbot Sunbeam Lotus back no I can afford to run it.

Think its used to get 14 mpg on a good day :confused:
 
Was lucky enough to fulfill one of my dreams having a red MR2 MkII (still miss it) but if I had to chose another it'd be the original M3. In black.
 
Some crackers so far!

I have thought of a few more,

My Z3M BMW, i would buy that back in a second! Struggled like hell to sell it for 7k in 2002, now they are 15k+.
Sierra Cosworth, none of that sapphire rubbish, a proper Rs500.
 
There is only one choice for me and it's already been mentioned..........

the mighty Quattro! :D
