What car from your youth would you buy now?

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.

Now the Sierra Cosworth was one of the first cars I really really wanted as kid

When out in Cyprus one of the pub owners had a mint condition one with only 15 k on the clock - what a car

Remember my physics teacher had an Audi Quattro - lovely car
 
I remember when I used to go sailing with a mates parents, all the rich boy sailor types had Mark 1 Land Rover soft tops. They also had great looking girlfriends and parties that went on for entire weekends.. I really really wanted one of those soft tops...
 
Being a child of the 80's it was a lamborghini Countach or a Delorean. In my late teens it was the Max Power days of cossies and Pugs. Always fancied an Escort Cossie with the huge tail spoiler.
 
I had an XR2i as an 18 year old - I loved that car; I'd have that back again no problem.

If I had my choice from cars of that era it'd be a Sierra Cosworth. One of the lads in the gym had one, it was immense!
 
Think I'd have to have a Lancia Stratos or its predecessor the Lancia Delta S4. Those were the boys to beat when I used to follow the rally world.

The stratos i assume would have to be in the Alitalia colour scheme??

The car I loved was one I had in the late 60s - SAAB 96, 841cc 3 cylinder 2-stroke. I would have the rally prepared version which had, I believe, an individual Solex carburettor for each cylinder.
 
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.

You have no soul.:mad:

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.;)

This. Were they pigs to drive, or did you actually have to drive them, have some meaningful input, unlike today. You could also do your own spannering, without any need of ECU readers.

This, or something similar, would do me; had the 1300E and loved it, but sadly never progressed and at these prices never will.
