Welcome to UCP, there is an on-going thread on this subject, but as you wisely put this one in the classic-car section, it is unlikely that we get to see the Enzos and the Veyrons here.

Mine would be
Alpine A110 (possibly a 1600 SC)
Citroen DS
Ferrari 288 GTO
Ferrari 330 GTC
Lamborghini Miura
Chevron B16 (Street legal Continuation model)
BMW 3200CS
Peugeot 406 Coupe HDi 2.2 (Daily driver )
Alfa Romeo 8C2300 Zagato
Lotus Elan S2

yea, the idea of this one is for the more obscure classic cars (don't want to call them old )

Hmmm, if we're going for the more classic cars...

Lotus Carlton:
A nice choice. 377bhp, 175mph. It was the fastest Vauxhall up until the Monaro. I just love them. Getting cheap now, too.


Ford Sierra RS Cosworth Sapphire:
Wanted it ever since I had a Corgi model of it! I have been lucky enough to have a small go in one, and it was amazing. Vicious, brutal, unforgiving, endearing, and utterly astounding. Has to be RWD.


Lancia Delta Integrale:
My neighbour has one. Converted to RHD. Very nice car indeed, I have liked them for a long time.


Dodge Charger R/T '68:
I just love American muscle, and this car is just the ultimate. The torque produced by the car at standstill rocks it from side-to-side. Another brutal car.


Eleanor:
I would love a Ford Mustang GT500, but especially in 'Eleanor' spec- from Gone In 60 Seconds (Nicolas Cage, not the original). It's just beautiful.


Chevrolet Camaro RS '68:
Another American muscle choice. I love the headlight covers and the general look. Failing this, it'd be a Yenko.


BMW E28 M5:
An affordable classic, with pin-sharp handling and a throaty 3.5 straight-six. Considering getting one with Dad as a 'Sunday' car- for the odd cross-country jaunt on Sunday mornings. And just look at it...


Aston Martin Vantage:
It's a bit new... but... 550bhp is not to be sniffed at. The last real Aston Martin- every single panel was hand-beaten. If one blemish is found, the beater starts all over again. To complete a door alone it took 3 weeks. A true dinosaur, and sorely missed.


Ford RS200:
I've loved this since I was about 3 or 4, had it as a Matchbox. It looks like an angel, is as rough as a badger and goes like stink. 750bhp from a 1.8T, anyone? One 2.1 Evolution model hit 60mph in 2.1 seconds.


Ford Escort XR3i:
One of my earliest car memories. Not the best picture, but it's the spec I want. Grey, with the dogleg alloys. I remember begging Mum to buy it, but she wouldn't budge. We got an Escort 1.6 LX instead! It's just one of those sentimental things...

Like I said, sentimental reasons!

I'll describe it.

As a 4 year old, life was good. The sun didn't really shine, as I was living in Yorkshire, but I liked watching the world go by and playing with all my Matchbox cars. I used to love Fords- we had a Fiesta 1.1 Popular at the time- an absolute shitbox. But I still loved Fords, and always hankered after the Grails- XR2s, Cosworths, and in particular the XR3i.

Mum took me car shopping one day. A dark, dingy little garage on the other side of town- with all the 'halo' cars in the poorly-lit showroom. I was poking around, and saw a low-slung, dark grey Escort. It looked fabulous. It had the alloys that are pictured, and in the light it just looked menacing and complete- the driving spotlights, the spoiler, the front bodykit. I poked my head through the open window, and took in a velour-finished Recaro interior. It was just... I don't know. Something about it. I begged mum to get it, but alas, I didn't understand the words "budget", "insurance", "theft" and "vandalism". So it was an Escort 1.6 LX for us- nice enough, but I still want the dark grey XR3i. It's the only car that I remember from my early years, our cars aside.

IWAARS6, alot of muscle cars shake when revved, it's not just the dodge. :P

1968 Camaro Z28 RS

1967 Nova SS daily driver

1969 Chevelle SS with the 375hp/396 similar to picture, but a convertible instead of a hard top

1969 Camaro drag car, I'd de-tune it to learn on, 11 seconds or so, then make it go faster, down to about 9's or 8's.

Maybe some jags and a nice MGA to top it off.

My dream garage would be to take over that french guy's Citroen garage (with 500km mileage or less cars) combined with the ones the factory stores undeneath Paris
