Cars you wanted but never owned

[Dr Zoidberg]

Wowzers...no wonder you have over 13,000 posts....2004!

To answer the question, any Aston Martin.

I've not posted much over the last few years since I decamped to a Fiat. At one point I was in the top 20 posters in about 2009.

 mines just an escort cosworth. I drove my boss's once. To pick him up from the pub at lunch time and sworn id buy one. But i never did

[crickleymal]

I had a Citroen XM, bloody marvellous car, the most comfortable vehicle I have ever owned. On the other hand the Xantia I had was a real Friday car.

 

I always wanted a Sunbeam Rapier. One of my neighbours had one when I was a kid and I thought they looked really nice

[Mk1pete]

Oh what a list this could be...

Datsun 1200 pickup

Mazda rx3

Chev impala 1964

Caterham

Another 205 gti:)

Another mk1 golf gti

Oh dreams.... Bloody houses getting in the way:-(

[Graeme B]

Caterham high on my list, got a personal loan out ages ago to pay for my wedding, i was sooooooo sooooooo tempted to just place my order with them hahaha 

[James I]

Sooo many, but there are a few at the top of the list.

 

 Lancia Delta Integrale HF Turbo, like this one.

 

 

 

Lotus Elan 26 R

Lotus Esprit 

Lotus Cortina and Carlton.

Audi Quattro QR

And many many more, I think I would be like a child in a sweet shop if there was a garage full of classics!

 

AC Cobra....

[AVTUR]

An original 1972 Porsche 911 RS.

One of those cars the Banana Splits had, The Mystery Machine, Geneveive, The red Mini from the original version of 'The Italian Job', The Batcar, and one of those pale blue three wheelers you used to see parked up near the corner flag at football matches but don't anymore. Oh and any car from any Gerry Anderson production

[James I]

Banana splits had an Argo like this iirc

A very popular choice, and just the sort of car I had in mind for this thread. It's very easy to make a long list of supercars that you were never going to have unless you won the lottery, but these are far more realistic vehicles that many of us *could* have had.

Must.... Resist....

For the money I spent on on 172 cup I could had a 205 but I think it will always be a dream car, I love them but something puts me off..maybe the though of it will spend more time on the ramps then on the road

[Titanium_Man]

When I were a teenager getting close to being able to drive in the 90's, I always wanted a Fiesta/Escort RS Turbo. This was back in the day when the dump valve was king and not 15 years later

[mdon]

Triumph gt6

Ford cortina/granada

Skoda estelle.

I really want another favorit again as learned to drive in one and my first two cars were favorits.

For me it would be very much a weekend fun car, and I doubt I'd even drive it that hard. Fortunately I don't have anywhere to park it, as I do have the money spare to buy one.

[Gwilo]

Porsche 928

I *think* there's one for sale here by a very reputable member.....hint hint....

 

 

For myself, I'd love a DeLorean DMC12, preferably an updated one with all the rough edges and issues worked out.

A Ford Cortina 1600E in Aubergine.

Mk1 small bumper Golf Cabriolet.

Rover 800 Vitesse Coupe. (Don't know why, but they do have a nice interior, probably the only bit that wont rust.)

I would consider it if I had somewhere to park it off road.

Ideally it should also be white with the pascha interior but I'm not fussy.

Nearly bought two citroen's, a Saxo VTR and a Xsara VTS Coupe, always wanted those but never got one. Then more recently was a Megane Renault Sport R26. Was so close to getting one!
