id like a manta, but its gonna be rotten
same with a capri, escort or anything similar
BMW seems the best bet so far, as long as thats not rusty either
would be looking for something which is good on the road and track, and looks hard

reliable and even the wee 2.5 has bags of torque

quite a light car for its size its just under 1300kgs

ansd if you park up next to any of the oldr retro cars mentioned the looks will tear them a new arsehole the arches are mazin

can pick up loadsa older 1982-5 ones for a grand but may not have have much mot left if any but theres always a chance you can get lucky on ebay

even had proper hairy chested advertising


but then again i am a bit biased (sp)

Used to work on these every day.

Lovely to drive though.

Would love a 944 Turbo, or better still an S4 928 GT.
