In the tradition of recommending your own ride.... my retro choice is an Alfa 75 TSpark.
Alternatively, a nice Alfa 33 16v.

Prius T-Spirit, Alfa 156 Sportwagon, Alfa 75 TSpark Veloce, Mazda MX-5 1.8iS
Honda VFR750FT, Ducati 750SS, BMW R100RT, Hongdou GY200

I drove a capri once and found they like to go sideways alot' is that normal?

^^^Thats normal for a capri ;D
I could highly recommend an Opel monza. Good fuel consumption for such a big engine. Excellent handling and ride and comfort. Just watch for rusty inner wings

they like to go sideways alot' is that normal? mine doesn't, it understeers like a bee-hatch! its alright if you push it hard, just not confidence inspiring! 4 pots handle much better.  out in a capri is a right of passage ;D gonna sort the suspension out on mine after the motor plans are sorted. some revised desings, methinks ;D opel monza's rock! could rustle up a 24v engine for you  and BC and pheonix are always on hand for advice do know what spares backup there is for these old opel fruits, I guess the mundane stuff can be got through motor factors and the like, but unsure about specialists for odd bits and bobs? |

The Capri i drove was a 1.6  And it was no hardship to to get the out(the car that is) |

Standard stuff isnt too bad. Although exhaust front pipes and handbrake cables are a bit of a chow to get hold off. A bit of adopt, adapt and improve is called for |

cgi.ebay.co.uk/TRIUMPH-1971-Dolomite-1500-Maroon_W0QQitemZ140072024573  Gorgeous motor. Tax exempt, 40mpg with the right bits, lose the Sprint wheels though, that's dodgy as they don't fit properly on FWDs I'm having bad thoughts about this and my V8 bits but it'd be criminal to crucify what appears to be a stunning example of the last few remaining FWDs - especially when my 8's shell is good. I love the plate too ;D
