Some great machines on here guys!
Sadly this one is no more but there hasnt been one posted yet, so enjoy. I think my Fiat Coupe, its replacement is a bit too new to be posted!
The last one I had a few years ago.Originally Posted by bassboy
Well done guys!
Its a 1971 Mercury Cougar XR-7 with a very thirsty 351 Cleveland in it!
Always loved the muscle cars when I was a kid and this seemed to fit the bill pretty well... really fancy a C3 Corvette next!
And chasing down FORD's :lol: :lol:
A FORD will never sound this good :D

What a fantastic looking machine!
I had a poster of one on my bedroom wall as a 10 year old and when i dont need a 4 seat classic then a "StingRay" is next on the list!!
I have nothing rock n roll like the Ferraris and Astons listed previously in the thread.......
It's a 1961 E Type Jaguar- fixed head coupe (pictured above with 'war' number plate)
My father bought it in 1972 and it sat in a shed collecting dust for 25+ years before I restored it recently.

I love the dashboard on the old Jags, nothing new comes close to them.

Bought as an e bay basket case, two years with a resotoration company and now ...
My 1976 Alvis, turns heads and great fun to go shopping in :lol:
Would a 1988 Ford Orion 1.6i Ghia be classed as a classic yet?
This is a beautiful thing!

Thank you, I'll try and find some pics of what it looked like when I bought it, and then a few that the restoration firm sent me as they were working on her.

Rubbish timing though, as I just sold this a week last Saturday...
Happily the money was in liquid form for less than seven days before being converted into a watch!

Just found two old pics of Midgets I had in the early 80s......
I used to rally this Imp, which - despite the registration - was a 1963 model. It was tuned to the limit; 410 cam, knife-edge crank, 1040cc, double-wedge machined-from-blank head, electric water pump, sintered clutch, Tran-X dog box. Unfortunately it was just too peaky, getting of the line was a nightmare (it wouldn't take full throttle below 5000rpm...), plus the gearbox broke regularly, despite a strengthened casing, a billet machined muff coupling and the strongest gearset available for Imp use..
I decided to build it into a lighter body, so I put this together (Clan Crusader). It was previously a friend's road car - he had once spun it on a roundabout and overtaken someone backwards off the exit road! It was slightly more reliable (not much, though) and when I was offered the ex Greenergy Citroen ZX at a bargain price I sold it..

If that SAAB V4 is a K Plater then I might just be a previous owner :D . If so its great to see the old girl again.
