Not cars but have owned a number of dream bikes - Ducati Guzzi Laverda MV Harley - and objectively they were all crap
I remember seeing one of those with a 1.8t in it, described as a getaway teatray 😆
Me, I want a firenza with a v8 in it. I could do the spannering but I can't weld, and I think that's probably a minimum entry requirement with a 70s vauxhall. There was a factory 302 but they're proper hens teeth.
Practical dream car, if there's such a think, is a spec b legacy estate. Fuel bill would hurt me but it seems livable with otherwise...
Well done OP
You only live once
I'm after an old Alfa, but as I'm saving the meager amount bit by bit, the prices keep rising 😐
When I was 14 I want an Aprilia RS125, when I was 17 I couldn't afford to buy or insure one. Now I'm 33 I have one, and two more in bits.
It's bloody uncomfortable, unreliable, gloriously Italian in it's assbackwardsness in a few places and utterly useless around town.
I love it.
Passat 1.9 TD, 1994, lovingly restored to showroom condition. Yeah baby.
It's been your dream to have it working?

Always wanted one.
Will be a bit sh&t probably but fun.
You don't buy cars with your head. Well... you could do, but where's the fun in that?
In an hour I've got to take my Golf GTi in, and spaff another couple of hundred quid on what seems like its bi-weekly new set of front tyres.
Still love the thing though 😀
K11 Nissan Micra with the SR20DET Turbo engine fitted, discreetly.
MG Express (Just found a good condition 160 for £2k which is tempting).
MG ZT-T with that V8 mustang engine.
On of these, please -

And a very pretty skirt in my opinion. I wqas never going to be able to design a whole car fromt he ground up but what I have designed is the interior and exterior. i also altered the set up so it handles differently.
I agree not totally 'designed' by me but hopefully you will agree not totally shit
🙂
to be fair when i first read your thread i expected ....

to be the outcome.
Funny things cars, I'm not really a 'car person' but I seem to own both a Mk2 Golf Gti with a tweaked motor and a Corrado VR6 Storm, but my unrequited 'dream' car for reasons I don't entirely understand, is the Polo G40 - basically a Mk3 Polo with a supercharged engine.
Very stealth, quite rare, essentially quite silly and not likely to end well... erm, but they're only around £2.5k now. Oh dear...
Mini Moke with a 1275, but only in the dry summer! 🙂

I've wanted a Typre 49 for ages. Things might be happening that would allow me to buy it, but I'd need to tidy the garage to get it in there.
