 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

I reckon an N12 Cherry is a good alternative to a Mk1 Golf. Plenty of Euro style potential I reckon and cheap, cheap, cheap!  I sold my 32,000 mile red one for £300. Try buying a two door Mk1 Golf with that milage for £300! |

any Vauxhall over the Ford equivalent, probably just as good but invariably cheaper for no real reason, especially Vivas and Victors, don't know how rare they have to become before they fetch proper money, just as cool looking as Mk3/4 Cortinas. i paid the same money for my 73 firenza (2.0inj,ecu,5spd box,full cage,buckets,harnessess,full respray etc etc) that 6 months earlier a guy was wanting me to pay for a 73 mk1 escort (2.0 pinto,4spd box,mis-matched ripped interior,knackered suspension,sh1te bodywork etc etc) . don't get me wrong, i'd love a mk1 escort but for the 'spec' i've ended up with on the firenza i couldn't get anywhere near an escort for the price i paid...  |

Arna/Cherry Europe instead of.......dunno.
Good on ya for asking about that 180, hopefully it will see the light of day once again, thus singlehandedly increasing the UK population of them by 100% no doubt.
Cant understand why 160 Violets arent as popular as Mk2 Escorts - even got the rally heritage. (mind you thats done the late `80s Galant no favours, cant understand why the rally thing makes some cars a fortune and not others)
323s are just as good as Golfs, just depends whether you want solid and reassuring or light and precise, thats the coclusion I`ve come to after owning several of both.

citroen CX instead of a DS?
Tricky one to call, a DS is 'different' choice as it is.
How about a Avenger instead of a marina?
Or a Visa Gti instead of a 205?

If it's over £500 I don't look at it anyway
If it's under £500 or better still at the "free" end of the scale it has my full attention regardless of what it is.......
Whatever the scene tax rate is at the above prices I'm not gonna be paying it....
Oh and Granada Coupe instead of a Monza ;D
