Cool!

Can you post up a picce of them.

My first A series was effectively my first car i brought myself and i had it for 5 years, whilst my mates had Viva's and escorts, cortinas, i had one of these which was a much better drive and to look at, engines were a bit astmatic.

Chap i knew (met via the car) had a Broadspeed Turbo conversion on one, went well.

I would love another one just finding on now.

Mustang back celica ace as was 240Z and the original Manta (see above) - esp the 2.8 that never made it to the UK.

Also like the Opel Rekord/Commodore

And the Mark 1 Ford Granada Coupe.

My 80's favourite. Looks hideous now, but still remember the satisfaction of having that in my Top Trumps hand

Can't argue with that I suppose!

Something odd about that Mini. I think it might be that chrome trim around the sill and arches... why isn't it coming off like a normal mini!??

I've always wanted one of these as my mum had one when I was a kid and it was fast as **** even with her driving it



(that one's ruined with that body kit though!)

There is only one s12 on Autotrader nationwide Can't believe they all died, thought Nissan's were supposed to go on for ever? Dodgy turbos/auto boxes?
