Well I have
Mk 1 interceptor - had for 15years
1973 porsche 911T had for over 25 years but needs restoring
early 32GTR currently being restored to 100% factory spec
what I would really like is an early KPG series skyline but the prices are prohibative as in much worse than all the early sporty fords
I will restore the 911 one day ........thats if I ever come into some serious money | |

For me it would be a Stag or a 73 Porsche 911 in Gulf Colours!
Could I also add a Ferrari Dino that list, I think this is one of the best looking cars ever made.

Now that we have modern vehicles with their superb collision protection I find it increasingly hard to relax in the classics. Which is a shame because there's a few I really quite like. | |
