If you could have any one , which would you pick?

[mickthemaverick]

Well here is a truly superb collection which will warrant some serious head scratching, beware after you get through Saturday's cars you get lots of bikes but keep going Sunday's cars follow on!!

Now I had a huge issue trying to decide but in the end I decided to pick a repeat of a previous car which is in the second spoiler having reluctantly rejected the car in the first spoiler!!

That's going to take some serious whittling to get down to one car to have as there is, indeed, a superb selection. Hmmmmm..... I may be some time !

Both fantastic cars but for me it's got to be the BX 16v. Definitely on my bucket list

Yes I had one in days gone by, great car but no good to me nowadays with no left ankle!!

After much deliberation, I've narrowed it down a bit.

I'd love the 1983 ROLLS ROYCE SILVER SPIRIT just for its brown leather interior. They don't make 'em like that any more But I'll pass on that as it's just a tiny bit impractical.
The 1968 RILEY KESTREL MKII looks a fine little car, but I'm not sure I'd get much use out of it, so no.
Tempted with the 1971 BEDFORD HA ICE CREAM VAN.... but perhaps not
There's a brace of XK8 Jaaaaags, one convertible, one not, but I think there might be better ones out there and these aren't standout ones, so no to them as well.
The 1990 CITROEN BX GTI 16V has already been earmarked by John, so I'll have to pass on that.
The 1972 ROVER P6 2000 SC appeals - much brown-ness with a cream <ahem> 'patinated' leather interior. Tempting, but no.
The brace of Austin / Morris 1800 look good, though I'm not sure why
The 1969 TVR VIXEN is extremely tempting. It really is. Not sure why two rebuilds on it have stalled though, so I'm a little wary of it.
It's a tough choice, but I'll have to settle for the 1992 MERCEDES 600 SEL AUTO. V12 luxury with a bit of history to it and mechanicals and electricals I can deal with. Sold !

No doubt for me - the Hillman Hunter GL (assuming its a 1725 engine). Stunning condition and 35k miles. My first car was a Mk1 Hunter 1967, this later one has a a facelifted (i.e. unnecessarily messed about with to look posh) seats, facsia and instruments but looking at the underbonnet picture makes me think I could maintain it in my sleep. Stromberg carburetter tweaking was my special subject. Head gasket (they were a copper-aluminium sandwich and prone to failure) maybe a 2 hour job. Brakes, ball joints, struts .... all very easy to deal with. Mine had c. 20k on it when I got it from family in 1971, and I decided it was "beyond economic repair" when a piston ring disintegrated at 167 k miles around 1978.

Renault GTA V6 without a doubt!

Gosh, there's a lot of very desirable stuff on offer there...

As always, if there's a very early Mini then that's the one for me. The red 1962 one is my choice...

The R4 was a close second and if it was an early one, preferably a three-speed with 6V electrics, then that would have won out over the Mini on this occasion.
