As an 18 yr old,I had a sunbeam alpine in 1982. Still look back on it with great affection, so for me it would be a Sunbeam Tiger, the poor man’s Cobra.

Sierra cossie. Wanted one so bad when I was a kid!

I remember sitting alongside my dad when he had a test drive in a black one years back. I so wanted him to buy it, but he ended up in a 2.9 XR4x4 instead. However I can't remember the reason that he gave for not going for it though.

F355

Still the best looking Ferrari ever, to my eyes.

On my fortieth birthday, my other half hired a three litre Austin Healey for me... I'd always fancied one, but much as I enjoyed the day, I no longer wanted one when it came time to give it back.
Ten years later, she got me a Morgan M3W for the day, giving that back was like having an arm removed...best driving fun I've ever had.

I'd waft about in one of these

I came to say the same.

And from the following decade a UR Quattro

I have one of them here, a Lynx XKSS, but my dream has always been an Invicta Low Chassis. Way out of my reach though, and always have been.

I'm a little young compared to their usual fans (born in the 80s when these were already 'old' cars) ... but a Jaguar E-type FHC S1 would be pretty much my ideal classic. I've lusted after them since I was a child, but unlikely to ever have the sort of disposable cash to drop on something like that.

If I ever got one, I would drive it enthusiastically at every opportunity. Bugger keeping it locked away in a heated garage - cars are for driving!

[driveaway]

mine would be a Cadillac 341a town sedan for leisure driving, but maybe a Ford Mustang (the classical one) for enjoying on holiday....

Those DB7s are looking like an absolute bargain at the moment, you may not be far away from the dream at all there my friend!

[Lotusgone]

May not find a GT5 for £100k, but it's a wet afternoon and some dreaming is needed.

Nice and simple; a MGA twin cam or later 1600 with completion pack.
MGA start around 1/4 of the budget which is good value dare I say it..

I know but sometimes it is better to keep dreaming...

[2172cc]

I'd love a road version of any one of the Group B rally cars but all are way over budget. Next in line would be a Renault 5 Turbo 1 .....could one be bought under 100K?

[stevep944]

Jensen Interceptor for me too.
Or, ignoring the 100k limit, Ferrari 288 GTO

[chippy348]

Interesting question,

I am very lucky that i have a collection of a fair few cars, some i have owned for 24 years, i do feel very fortunate to have purchased them before the rise.

That said i would like

TR6
Jessen Healy as my uncle had one in the 70's
S:1 E-Type
914 Porsche
Mercedes 230SL
Ferrari 355 Spyder

[heisthegaffer]

Strada Abarth without a doubt.
