I realise this is the modified classic car forum, however I'm pretty sure there's some near enough standard stuff on here and some cars that are only a bit tweaked here and there. Anyway I'm doing a mock-up magazine at university and intend to feature the above. First car that springs to mind is an early Sierra with those lovely inset headlamps, though a facelifted one will hardly be a deal breaker. Currently sorting out a list of cars I'd like to do but if you have something that's standard/(ish) and appreciating in value then don't hold back.  The idea is I visit, we go out in your car, talk about it, and I take lots of photos. It would be great if I can have a drive, too, I'm 20 with 3 and a half years of claim-free driving, but that's up to you. I'll happily bung you a few quid for fuel and send you the photos and the final magazine pages, you can even have a go in my Panda if desired but, well, it's hardly setting the world alight. Anyone interested? I'm in Stoke but will travel *nearly* anywhere. Cheers! Sam. Have some random retros:     |

My brother's BMW 318i is pretty much factory spec, he seems to find the concept of rolling modification taxing. Only upgrade is the stereo & some 14in bottletops because the tyres were new and they were £30. |

Mine is standard in appearance if you just want pictures, just don't put the bonnet up, but i've probably got some pictures with standard engine in.
Also depends on how much time you've got because the front end is still in bits, and its an MOT.

My wife has bog standard 79 mini city that's an 850. Mini's aren't that rare but I have never seen another late 70's 850 city in original condition in all my years mini-ing. Her's is pretty mint with only 27,000 miles on the clock.

First off, thanks for the replies, there's some spot-on stuff here! I'm aiming to have all the features written by mid-April, so a fair bit of time yet. I'll send PMs and stuff about viewings soon, probably Monday at the latest as it's my dad's birthday this weekend.
Cheers!
