Ever since I was about 7-8, and watching Knight Rider   I have always had this secret dream to own something with pop up headlights... Been looking into Mk1 MR2's, and Mazda RX7's (Sorta 84ish ones) but what else is there? Looked into Supra's but not sure about insuring one, ideally I would like something RWD too, beacuse I'm getting bored of FWD Thanks |

I'd love a Supra MK3 but the UK-spec ones have nearly all been run into the ground, rusty old heaps with 150K+ and autoboxes. What about a Subaru XT? If you're willing to wait for one to turn up....!  |

Here you go  EbayIt's been on there for a while so he'll drop i'm sure.....I used to own an 86 model.137bhp single cam 7psi turbo rwd fun group 14 ins. I've also had a mk 2 supra,again much fun rwd 168bhp 169lb/ft torque and if you get the wide arched version you get lotus designed suspension I had an st182 Celica too,great car but boring fwd My most recent buy is an sa22c '79 rx-7,great balanced car,great fun to chuck around,and that little 12a rotary is keen to rev to 8k.....recomended Pop up lights are the shizzle! |

volvo 480 Oi you less of that, ok its FWD but they aint half as bad as you'd think. My turbo's not bad at all, granted it looks s**t, but it goes like the clappers on boost! |

Sierra - here we go again! He has an illness, it's not his fault.

no shortage of options is there? cars of the 80's and 90's are quite affordable right now. This ones likely for sale and very affordable, if ya interested drop us a PM  |

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

Not sure on your price range but what about Mazda MX5's? - RWD, great handling, and available from £1500, although a lot more choice and better cars at around £2-2500.
I'd try and buy one around this time of year though, rather than in three months time as the seasons affect the prices by about 10-20%.

Trans Am?
Seriously. They ain't that expensive right now and they are sure to appreciate in value. They start with a small V6 and work up to a 305 or 350 V8 in those Gen 3 cars. There are more Camaros about than the Firebirds but they can be found at sensible money. Clasic insurance means they are affordable to insure now. MPG ain't as bad as you might thing, especially on a mid sized V6.
