Re: If you could have any one , which would you pick?
I've decided, the CX is just too big for me and there is not another car that leaps at me but as I have to choose one it will be the Mk1 Capri:

The VW Corrado for me. I believe it was a very under-rated car (following on from the Sirocco, which a lot of people liked), and that spec makes it a bit of a fun car.

Re: If you could have any one , which would you pick?
There aren't any decent classic catalogues at the moment so here's a 'normal used car auction' to keep the game going. I have yet to decide on which one I would accept!!

Re: If you could have any one , which would you pick?
Well, the only one I might be tempted by is 2751, the car transporter Mercedes Sprinter. That way I can earn a bit of money delivering the forum members their choices of vehicles!

Re: If you could have any one , which would you pick?
I have now completed a more thorough browse and the only one that I can, let alone would, consider is:
Details here
My reasons? I am not allowed diesel, see my daughter, I need 'no clutch', see my history of ankle injury, and one thing going for it is the colour!!

Re: If you could have any one , which would you pick?
The little Transit Connect looks like the sort of motor I would have bought, looks a useful vehicle that needs a bit of fettling............................but I'm past all that.

Re: If you could have any one , which would you pick?
The blue C3 Picasso is the only vehicle of any interest to me...

Re: If you could have any one , which would you pick?
After looking through that lot, I don't have any first choices
I'd possibly go for one of the Volvo estates, but there's nothing there the makes me think - 'Oh yes, I'd like one of those'
I'm a bit dubious as to why all the number plates are blanked out as well

I guess they blank out the number plates to avoid the cloners.

Re: If you could have any one , which would you pick?
We're going to have to share that one, Mick, as that appeals to me as well
It's the most interesting car of the bunch for me.
