I like them all. My garage would be: Mark 1 2 door 1500 Mark 2 either 1600 deluxe or 1600E Mark 3 2.0 GXL, with the 4 headlights Mark 4 2.0S Mark 5 either 1.6L or crusader On the mark 4/5, the best variants were the 1.6 and 2.0. The 1.3 was underpowered and the 2.3 was heavy on fuel and no faster than the 2.0 I nearly bought a Crystal Green Mk5 2.3 Ghia when I still had my 1.6GL (many, MANY years ago)... The engine did sound joyous but the car bobbed and wallowed all over the place (I think a set of new bushes all round would've helped)!! Maybe I was gunning it a bit too much on the test drive but it just didn't feel as taught as my GL. In hindsight though, I do wish I'd bought it as they are ruddy hard to find nowadays...!

Not a car but a classic none the less. I always wanted a scooter. Maybe one day.

VW camper van and MG 1100 for me!
I like those air cooled VW campers, I saw two yesterday, both the same colour as the one in the pic here.

There's a lot to choose from there but I think I'd go for the XK140 and the MGA for starters... Thanks for posting Simon. Sam.

A lovely selection again there ST. Thanks for smudging and posting them on 4:3tv If I've got to choose it would probably be that gorgeous Cortina 1600. Gene.
