What car from your youth would you buy now?

I can live with that.

Actually, BiM just mentioned the only good thing. You could work on them yourself.

Best car I had in my youth was a Mk1 Scirocco, but I wouldn't want to swop back.

The one I wanted was an XR3i. 105bhp, whoop-de-doo.
 
best car i had as an 18 year old was my uncles MAXI,drove like a dog slow as a couple on old timers on a long par5 but had a massive back seat and soft velour upholstery:thup::thup::thup::thup:

Apart from the supercars of the day, I wouldn't want a car from my youth.

My car now is quicker, more comfortable, nicer to drive and has more gadgets. I don't get the appeal of wanting a car from days gone by.

Yep, old cars had so many problems. Modern car for me every time ☺

Hmm.

Owned a mark 2 VW Golf GTI.

Owned a Ford RS turbo mark 2.

Would have to be either a Lancia Stratos or a Lancia Delta Integrale 8v.

Crazy cash these days though.
 
My first car was a 1992 Fiesta XR2i, cherry red with 14" pepper pots. Interior was as basic as hell (for the "top of the range" Feesty).

Loved that car and would have another in a heartbeat, just something raw about it with no driving aids or electrics to temper it.

Got rid of that when my head was turned by a Sierra Sapphire Cossie which, due to the running costs, lasted a whole 6 months. (A bit like the E46 M3 that I had about 8 years ago, MPG was obscene and it had to go).

Cars from the 60's, 70's might have been pigs to drive, but boy did they look better than those of today. Chrome everywhere, wooden steering wheels, leather seats, two tone paint jobs oh and of course 8 track cassettes.;)

I had you down as a model T ford man, Rich.:)
 
When I was 19 I came back from the Falklands after 4 months away and the money was burning a hole in my pocket so I bought one of the original XR3's. The ones before the injection came out. However, what I really wanted was the Audi Quattro but it was out of my price range.
 
Oh, so many! Shortlist would probably come down to:
Escort Cossie
Tickford Capri (dad had one)
The Quattro

And if I was feeling dangerous mixed in with a little bit lunatic and a dash of mentalist, then it'd be:
Ford RS200
