What "digitally remastered" classic would you like to own?

[stuttgartmetal]

Willys Jeep
1944 style.

[Tickle]

Renault 5 Turbo.

[joebongo]

60s to 80s Mercs. All of them. They had presence and style unlike the 2000's onwards tat.

[s m]

Mk2 Escort - space for 4 adults and a reasonable boot but narrow for road space
205/50 15s, LSD, coil sprung rear end, 6-speed box and some sort of modern engine -150bhp and about 1050kg

[Engineerino]

I'm sure I saw somebody created a mercedes 300SL gullwing based on an SL55 chassis and running gear? Must've surprised some people at the lights!

[spaximus]

Rover P5 coupe with BMW V8 sitting on something like an Art Morrison Chassis. Fill with all the usual gear and you have a great looking car.

[GraemeP]

Bmw 2002 turbo with e90 v8, dct gearbox, lsd tartan interior and a decent slice of mechanical grip

[GravelBen]

240Z would be hard to say no to. Maybe keep it NA with a 370Z motor rather than an RBxx, its a sweet sounding lump.

Can't believe nobody has chosen the Singer 911 yet. I'll have one of them, in that metallic bronze Porsche used to do, black Fuchs. And a Bristol 411.

AMG did a few but the wheels were just lazy and the interior was poorly resolved;

That steering wheel is the absolute worst thing I've ever seen. I was lucky enough to have a poke around a proper gull-wing not so long ago and that interior is an embarrassment!

As would most of us, but the question posed asks what would you like to see remastered - eg something not commercially available now

[GravelBen]

904 GTS

This sounds good to me. I'd also like to see an updated version of the Capri.

That'll be the new mustang with the 2.3 4 pot then.

[anonymous-user]

Jaguar XJ6 series 1. I'd put in an LS3 V8 tuned to about 500hp, mini-tub the rear and fit some 15" black steelies on drag radials. Mmmmmmm....

Oh god yes! I thought someone was doing one of these based on a Boxster;

Mechatronik do some interesting things to old Mercs.

The question was actually which would you most like to own.

[DervVW]

Orignal mini.. tiny with modern brakes.... and something modern under the bonnet... maybe some safety features too

[Lugy]

Everytime one of these comes up on the forums I always think about how hilarious some sort of horrendous piece of 70s BL blandness (Ital, Princess, All-agro, etc) would be with a decent, reasonably powerful engine and big brakes would be, then I start to get serious and think about how to swap the daft suspension set ups they had for proper struts/IRS to make something that would actually go quite well but still look ste. Then I remember about how rusty these things always are and think about something else.
