    C_alto got me to thinking, dangerous I know, on another thread that if money was no object what ‘old’ car would you buy. Can’t be in current production.

    For me just on looks and image it would probably be the Aston Martin DB5 or a Triumph TR3 or TR3a

    Ford cortina

    Reminds me of my first car
    I could take the car to bits rebuild the engine, rebuild it and have a handful of nuts and bolts left over
    And still worked

    Now I just look under the bonnet
    And join the RAC

    Because it a classic. That particular version was in Cobra. Equipped with Nitro boost on top of a v8 engine.
