In terms of owning an old car, if it had to have been built in the 1970s, what one car would you plump for?

Sunbeam Rapier Fastback. One of my favourite cars from my courting days. Those seats reclined a long way back!!!! Laughing

I did enjoy driving my Dads Morris 1800 landcrab. Luxury in those days.

So would I and I would add to the list a Mark 1 Escort RS1600 and another Escort of which I only ever saw one - A Mark 2 Escort RS 1800.

I once drove an Alfasud 1500ti, when the Alfasud was current and it was a delight.

A Ford Escort Mark 1 1300E was a nice car as well.

I think mine would be a BMW 3.0CSL, I've always thought that they were a great looking car (especially when airborne at the Nurburgring Cool )
