1. Cars that your Dad owned that you would have in a heartbeat As awful as it was, I loved that little van as a kid, it was like a toy car. 2. Cars that would be just perfect.. .if only it were hit with the lowering stick Somewhat biased, but the look of the Fig has really grown on me, the arch gap is just comical though 3. Cars with either head or taillights from another make. Will never forget this badboy 306 lighted Fiesta from Max Power all those years ago!

Car my Dad had (same colour too) IMO, this would be 100% perfect if hit with a 50mm drop No idea what lies behind the custom front but I so wanted this van when I was a small boy. So futuristic!

Car my dad had..... Sadly he totalled it before I was born. Car that would be perfect...... I love the shape but they ruined it by giving it spindly little wheels and a silly ride height. Cars with lights from another make This last one is a bit of a cop out but cars with lights from other makes never look quite right to my eyes.

One that my dad had, that I'd have in a heartbeat. That one is my dad's, that 's my mum and dad in it, and see that bump, that's me. One that would have been vastly better lower. It's quite a bit lower than stock in this pic, but was sat hard on the bump stops. It needed "Steathstylz" coil overs to get it sitting right. One with lights from another car. I've no idea what they are from, but C130 laurel coupes had twin round lights - they *might* be from a lower spec saloon, but they didn't start out on that.

1. Car my parents had 2. Car that just needs lowering. (Slightly cheating, I would re shape the front wheel arches too if I could) 3. tail lights from another make- '52 Chevy with Packard lights.

Love the Cresta PC but how good would this estate look dropped to the sills? Lotus Excel ( Rover SD1 tail lights) My old man had a Dolly Sprint in damson the same as this with 1 3/4 SU carbs and a gold Laurel on the bonnet, we went to Wales on holiday in it one year and he properly ragged it around the lanes near Bala Lake and my mum gave him a right bollocking for it! PBC556R I miss you!!

I'd have pretty much any of the cars Dad had, but the Stanza stands out as being a real oddball these days, even though it's so utterly mundane... or perhaps because of that. One stick please. Orion lights on a Triumph. It's probably got Volvo lights on the front too.

Dad had a Singer Chamois before I was even considered... always liked them (pic from internet) Tail lights...... not sure what they are from.... but Cadzilla came to mind If that’s not allowed, there’s always this Scimitar And car that needs lowering, I thought most coupes.. and once I had a scirocco for a bit...... (mine was red)

I couldn't decide whether to hunt out something Japanese or a Corvair for my selection. That one makes me wish I'd opted for North America.
