THE car you covet..

Yes please

Some beautiful choices up there, and I love the fact that a few people have chosen Volvos. It makes me feel less alone by posting this:

Something quite normal… A B7 Audi RS4 Avant. Subtle, under the radar looks which to many people wouldn’t get a second glance but quattro, V8, lovely looking thing, nice interior and hugely practical.

Why I spent £10k more than a nice one could be bought for and bought a 2l diesel van baffles me sometimes!

Yup seen it! I think it was actually a 960….??

You’re probably right – I just remember my 74-year-old grandmother doing wheelspins away from the lights in a beige station wagon he built for her!

Yeah tey fairly made those 740 wagons better robdob- they cut the bac off and made them saloons :)k

Somafunk

Mk1 is running a 2.08v with a lot of mods. Not a bad shout for an uprated diff as the diff bearigns let go on my first box after 200 miles!

This.

Currently browsing for a Fiesta MK1 Supersport in Sunburst Red , but if I had the cash a Porsche 911 Turbo S. I would have a garage full of various historic road and race Porsches if I won the Euromillions, plus my daughter wants either a Nismo Nissan GTR or an Aventador.

I’m with Ro5ey. It has to have the silver hoop, narrow body with no tail as pictured.
Or a 914.

A Singer Porsche for me please. Any will do, they all look sublime.

Another Singer……….

Alpina C2 2.7

1971 Ford Capri 1600 GT XLR. Preferably in fern green.

Singer 911 all the way…

So many great shouts on here and the Singer Porsche is definitely a highlight. However I do have an unusual and unhealthy car crush on the current Cayman in yellow

some italian loveliness for me

I’ve thought about this carefully. If you gave me a lottery win, right now, I’d go down the VW dealer and order a new Passat.

If you gave me a lottery win, right now…

How big a win are we talking? 🙂

This thread has just made me realise that I really don’t covet cars at all. None of the above have done anything for me. Not intended in a sanctimonious way, I’m actually slightly surprised by it.

I did have a toy Pontiac firebird when I was little which changed colour when it got warm. That was quite cool when I was seven…

One of these, but with racing pedigree so I can take it racing at Goodwood, Silverstone and Le Mans

Well I already own one of them which is this Volvo S60R. A proper ‘R’ mind not any of this ‘R-Design’ styling only rubbish. 300bhp, Ohlins designed electronically controlled chasis and suspension and Brembo Brakes.

Other than that a Bader Racing Karmann Ghia 993 RS would be nice

I ought to fancy something more exciting, and I really try to love supercars but for me fast things that shouldn’t be fast and rally cars are amazing. I seem to have a thing for Mercedes cars, not sure why.

So, old car- an SLC rally car.

Current car- a Brabus C63 600 Biturbo, but in Wagon form and with a standard Merc badge. Because I’m really a chav.

2cv

Its not big or expensive, but I would have another in a heartbeat

J350 LFH – Where are you, come home….

I probably wouldn’t be able to give it the love and attention it would require though:

Am genuinely trying to buy one of these:

(well – the plain van at least :))

I’m going to contradict everything I said on yesterday’s driving thread, and get all greedy now. Here’s a second choice:

One of these would do me nicely

There’s only one for me:

http

Would compliment my 12 year old Avensis estate nicely…

Alfa 8C please

Singer 911 or Paris Dakar 959…

I’m a car as a tool type of person, so mine to covet would need to completely in the other direction.

Something like this:

Nice to see a couple of Karmann Ghias cropping up. I’ve already had several but still get excited on the rare occasions I see one.

Fantasy one car? An F40.

What I’m actually hoping to get one day in the realistic future? Lotus Elise S1.

Its a bit sad but as I get older I think comfort over outright speed so Range Rover for me.

It’s not made yet. It’ll have up to seven seats that will be transformable into a comfortable bed, electricity as the main power source. A solar panel roof. A 10bhp petrol engine for running with flat batteries or off-grid charging. It’ll weigh less than a tonne and every component will be re-usable and/or recyclable.

One of these in Signal Orange.

been hankering after a Caterham for a long time….

something like this:

to tow behind our van would make me feel rather smug. everything in black. would need a new paint job or frame…

also quite like the MR2 MKII. just had a look and a decent condition one can be had for around 3€k. hmm… maybe next year… or never.
