What boring cars did you really desire once upon a time?

[iva cosworth]

I really liked these when hey were new,just like the shape.

Fiat 128 Coupe BTW.

Rust has done for most of them,saw this one at Italian car day at Brooklands this year.

Hadn't seen any for years before that.

Just wanted an MX-6, when I was in my 20's and they first came out....really wanted one, I was on my way to view a 3 month old ex demo, totally against my now ex wife wishes. I popped into work on my way and the missus had left a message to call home.

So I did she announced she was pregnant so no MX6 ...

[Heathwood]

Oh god, where to start…

Rover 213 vitesse
Mk 2 Astra 1.3L
Nissan Bluebird turbo
Mk3 Cavalier 2.0i GL
Audi 80 1.8i sport (circa 1985)

I once lusted over a Mercedes Benz A210 Evo, don`t quite remember what the attraction was though.

Looks-wise that's quite a "10 year old friendly" car.

Are you saying that I'm forgiven?

Well, it has more logic than a 3 door Maverick. Plus pop-up lights of course!

Matra Rancho, looked really cool and offroad tough, but were in reality not that great. Still want a Citroen Mehari though....

Nothing wrong with a Mehari except they are north of 8k. Alan Clark had one to collect the grass clippings!

I seem to remember I made it my goal in around 2008 (age 13) to get a 2008 Vauxhall Astra 1.9CDTi SRi 5dr (Mk5) in black as a first car. It also had to have the styling pack and part leather.

Yeah, I am strange.

Um, I'm 34 and I'm still aspiring to one of those! (I tend to buy cars at around 10 years old).

For me I think it was the older shape Nissan Sunny Coupé...



Mental.

[crazy about cars]

Sweet, sweet lies...

[Leins]

Volvo 480ES or Turbo. Are they boring? Still not made my mind up about that one, but have no interest in them now

[HorneyMX5]

All because I had a toy one with a steering wheel that was mounted on the roof to make the front wheels steer. TBH 'd still have one but it would need some sort of mental engine conversion to sleeper it up!

[Agrilla]

And also

Not boring, but I only wanted it because it bore my initials! I was only 6 or 7 though

In 1987, I was 17 and learning to drive in an old Metro 1.3. I quite liked it and dreamed of owning a Vanden Plas, or at least the HLS model....in this colour too....

[Noisy]

I wanted one of these when I was about 11 or 12.

[LewG]

[esso]
