I think we need a supplementary rule that says no pictures of breathed-on updated version of old cars allowed

With a '63 birthday many of these I saw being launched. Early Quattro and Renault 5's in particular. 635 CSi I have driven a bit as my boss in NY had one and used to lend it to me for the weekend when he was away, frankly I was terrified of crashing it so just drove it from office to his apartment and parked it. Been a passenger in a Cosworth Sunbeam round bits of Thruxton (late '70's / early 80's I think), unofficially !

@BigG yes indeed would add this to the Citroen Van. Would love one of these, alawys check them over when I see one

Cosworth Sunbeam 

Any of these would do.

8/10 by the way, and I only lived through a year and a half of the 80s.

9/10 on the 80's hot hatch quiz. Ironically, the only one I got wrong was one of the two that I actually owned. (the Renault 5) 😳

I've never met tomhoward, but I think I want to do rude things with him.

Queue jumping?

Look at him in the back, he's having a lovely time... the dog hates it though.

I know there's one on page 1, but (IMO) they need the four spoke RS alloys.

Jimjam wins I so lusted over one of those, was on the waiting list at Skip Browns for a decent one for ages, in faxt drove past there a couple of weeks ago and the dreams started again.

I ended up with a Midnight Blue Mk2 RS2000 with the full custom pack to which I added a 5 speed box, LSD, the oblig Billies, emerald head and twin 45's oh and of course the noisy pipe. I could get it up to valve bounce in 5th on a good road and of course almost sideways round any roundabout, oh fun times.

Car design has not improved has it. Very sad.

In a strange way one of these. Stupidly quick 0-60 time. Remember seeing one for sale about 8 years back for £75k. Probably worth double or triple that now.

I don't think we've had one of these:

I'm sure we've not had one of these:

Though to come back to reality and something I could afford:

The forgotten Skyline...

Or one of these...

One of these. Yes seriously.

Have owned an SD1 and a Volvo 240 😀

From the above I'd love to have:

Ferrari F40
RS200
Muira
One of these as a daily driver:
