Joanl Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) My favourite although it was my then husbands, (I don't drive) was a red and white Austin Metropolitan Nash. I felt like a million dollars whenever I was out and about in that especially with the top down. Here it is Edited September 6, 2011 by Joanl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medusa Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I adored my old SAABs- they're such grand old ladies and are a positive pleasure to drive, but I just couldn't afford to keep them going on my budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrod Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 (edited) Ah, cars. Which ones do you love or loathe the most? Many, many years ago I was very fond of my first car - a Beetle, though admittedly I'd fitted an 1800cc engine in place of the original 1300; it did trot on. Over the years I've tried many cars and had a long passion for the old Rover SD1, and had a few 3500 Vitesse models which were a dream of a car in their day. Getting older now and in need of creature comforts, I've taken the step of acknowledging I'm not a kid any more, so have moved on to what I’ve always thought of as “‘old man’s cars” - Jaguars, and while they're not absolutely the cheapest cars to run, they're worth it. http://www.ultimatecarpage.com/images/large/1118/Jaguar-XKR-R_1.jpg Edited September 6, 2011 by Conrod added link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrod Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 Rover P6 3500cc V8 automatic a car far ahead of its time. If I remember correctly only 3 gears but would do 75/80 mph in second gear and approx 120mph in 3rd. Bought new in August 1971 for £2120.00 amazing the difference inflation makes. similar to this http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y256/alankearn/59211971_Rover_P6_3500_V8_1_-1.jpg I had a P6 - as you say far ahead of their time - I drove one not long ago and the ride quality they give is still good by today's standards.
