 I have wanted a Hornet since I was 10, 48yrs ago. I'll never get one because sometimes it is better to dream and imagine. |

 This would be my perfect retro. Shame they're well out of my price range these days, a well sorted car like this one is £40k these days. |

I'm a very simple soul. This would do me just fine (as long as I had a shed full of spares as well...).  |

Had two  1962 P1800 (Jensen built version) and 1966 1800S. Note they are P1800 for British built and 1800S for Swedish - there was never a P1800S They rot terribly and cost a fortune to restore body. I paid £960 for just a pair of sills - that was parts only  You can get them cheaper but single profile so don't fit properly. Look at the door and if sill is same profile then OE but if sill straight compared to the slight curve of the door then cheaper (although still expensive) versions. There was never a convertible model - just one off conversions by specialists or DIY. |

mine are nothing fancy! First, I've always wanted a E21. Just love those thin rear lights and uber retro ness!  and the other has got to be a Harlequin Polo! so 90's, so cool, so many broke necks  |

A Volvo 240 similar spec to Bamse's old one. Crazy amount of work done to the Engine and drivetrain, believe this one was around the 400-500whp mark.  |

I cannot categorically say only one car, another will always come along that I think is amazing, the r30 skyline posted above is a perfect example of that.
At the moment a car I want more than any other is a red, blue or deep yellow, black (I'm not too fussy really) Datsun 240z with a mid 500bhp RB swap. Gnmetal watanabe wheels, over fenders. Original interior with a rollcage and decent harnesses with a custom suspension setup which has a levelling system for speedbumps.
