Triumph Dolomite

Mk1 Golf GTi

Dolomite passes, golf doesn't, too golfey. I think the beetle will sneak onto the list actually.

Stuff off.  :devil:

 

Next?

Jags of 1979 vintage? Going to be costly runners though no doubt.

Ball and chain steering was the only downside on the Celica.

Bit wishy washy.  :dull:

There you go.

CELICA!! :kiss:

I had three in my time.

Awesome and bloody reliable too.

Twin Cam was the best

I haven't google it yet but that must be the really ugly boxy celica? Er, no thanks.

EIDT: now googled, I stand corrected, that looks ok. Goes on the list on your recommendation for further research.

Mercedes saloon is always a good shout. Back in the days they still looked old.

No.

You're thinking Corolla.

 

Celica was a sports coupe fastback and has a big following.

Competed in motorsport regulary

Spitfire?

Range Rover?

Rolls Royce Silver Shadow 2

MGB GT

Reliant Scimitar?

    My work mate has a 1970s dodge challenger :)

    Brilliant car

    Yes, a Rover SD1 is the right year but I'd much prefer a P6 if you catch my drift.

    +1 on the Rover SD1. Loved those as a kid and still do. 3500 VDP or Vitesse in red please Santa.

    Dolomite is on the Long List though

    77 is late 70s, and will be tax exempt sooner.

    Any particular reason you want very late 70s?

    It will be the same age as me

    Chevette HS,  Lotus Sunbeam are two on my hit list but they would eat in to my motorhome fund.

    It will be the same age as me

    That'll be that Daimler steam thing for me then. :dull:

    1997 Ford Fiesta is as interesting as it would get for me then!

    It will be the same age as me

    Ah, that makes sense.

    JPS Octavia?

    Sort of from the late 70s
