I'll see your HSR and raise you a "Black Magic" (Ok, so it never made it into production but they do exist!) I even still have the promotional literature that they produced for this at home. Good old Wayne Cherry!

Maseratti Ghibli.

As seen here and here.

Alarmingly cheap to buy. Potentially disasterous to run... or at least as expensive as something like a F348.

The Vauxhall Chevette makes a good, cheap, donor vehicle. The only viable one for North America unless you count the ultimate hairdresser car, the Miata/MX5, an expensive poofmobile. Not that I'm being judgemental.

One of these.

No right minded person would have one, but I've always wanted one since I saw one being driven on a fine summers day in the New Forrest around 1984 or thereabouts.

You'll be lucky, I read about the T16 years ago and the guy had to get a spare part from the Peugeot museum as that was the only other one in existence!

Is it really bad that I'm thinking "Yeah!" at most of the cars here?

I'd have the Nissan Sunny again, most comfortable seat ever it was almost like an armchair!

Wouldn't be beyond the talents of some here to make a replica of the T16. Front end looks pretty much standard up to the B pillar, and a mould for the rear clam could be taken from the donor after some modification for the vents. Z-cars style cage/engine subframe and you've got a rather desirable car (IMO).

I think some people haven't really got the idea of this thread, and are posting pics of tasteful cars.

How about a Dolomite, not the Sprint, but an 1850, and an automatic one at that. Yes, I was that dolomite owner (nice car too )
