I doubt that I will now but many years ago I had the opportunity to buy a tatty one for £750. A decent one is now around 45k :down:

It was that car, that got me to the GTA. It had the Alpine name too but wasn't able to replicate the "Je ne sais quoi"

I know the GTA and came very close to buying one about 10 years ago, instead I went for a Porsche 968 Cabriolet, which I still have but don't really love that much!

Not yet, no.

I've always wanted a VW T2 split screen with safari windows, ideally in Albion-ish blue and white.

For a decent one nowadays, it will be the best part of £30k.

There's a funny thing. I love cars but both of the above leave me stone cold.

On the other hand I wish I'de never sold my Saab 9000 Aero (especially as the feller I sold it to has had several years of virtually trouble free motoring).

That's why we're called individuals :)

My dream car is the SL300 Gullwing. In silver with red leather. I will never own that car. To rare and far too expensive!! Instead I'll settle for my 15 year old green astra which costs hardly anything to run!! Absolute beaut!! ;)

My choice would have been a V12 E type jag. I was lucky enough to have to settle for a 1971 chrome bumper MGB convertible. Unfortunately it was built to rust and I lacked the skills as a mechanic and the finances to maintain it. I sold it to a bloke who had a centrally heated garage and was prepared to cherish the MG, virtually giving it away, but ensured its long term survival.

I always wanted to own a Ford Sierra. Since before I took my test I just saw them as good, sturdy, working men's cars. I also liked the interior design. No frills. So I did eventually buy one.
