Jim,. the title says any one, so you have to pick one !!! Otherwise it's a cop out!! :-D
Ahh, sorry Mick, in that case the Vanden Plas Metro ;)

Love it, two non indicators!! :-D

Yes but the Z3 Tribute has an AC Cobra body so people would be shocked if I didn't indicate :lol:

This sale won't be so easy to choose from, there are at least three which float my boat so I'm ruminating on my choice!! :-D

My mastication is complete and having eliminated the Mk1 Escorts and the Lotus Esprit I'll settle for the original version of the first vehicle I ever rode in the front seat of :-D

My first choice would be the Daytona in the car trailer...... but as it doesn't appear to be for sale, I'll have to have a good think about what would be second best. I may be some time as there's a lot of tempting cars there :)

Righty-ho, after much pondering I think I have a winner....
One of the XJS's - nope, but I'd like one.
The Bristol - hell yes, but not today.
The Honda S800 - hmmmmmm, yes, but I don't think I'd fit in it, so no.
The TR4, or 5, or 6 would be nice - but no.
One of the brace of SD1's - possibly.
The BMW 2002 - unusual and a bit desirable, but it does look a bit odd, so no.
I think I'll have to settle for the Daimler Double-six manual coupe.... mainly because it's a Double-six manual coupe :-D Not sure about the colour, though. :-k

Here's your chance to see how much you've saved yourself by only saying which one you'd have had. For me it was £13,725.00 saved to spend on something more worthwhile!! :-D

Well I've looked through all the listings and to me they're all just 'cars' or 'showroom stock' :-D I'm well past the stage of being excited by any of them. I remember when I was fifteen I had a fancy for a Lea Francis 14 hp sports but since then having worked on most makes and models the novelty has gone off.
