With the 100k garage topic getting me wondering which classics I'd buy, my lists seemed to be predominately centered around 1980s machinery...and they made for an interesting top ten:

Audi UR quattro 20V
Porsche 911 Carrera 3.2 with G50 box
Ferrari 512BB
VW Golf GTi 16V
Citroen CX GTi Turbo 2
BMW M635CSi
Toyota MR2 Mk1
Ferrari 328 GTB
Daimler Double Six
Saab 900 Turbo

While I think anyone would be pretty happy with that lot...any other suggestions?

Love you specifying the 911 must have the G50 box. Don't believe the hype.

Not sure if the DS was made in the 80's.

BMW E34 M5 - 4 door saloon with no equal
Porsche 928 S / S2 or S4 - arguably better than the 911 & 944 of their day

E34s are 90s not 80s iirc. Perhaps you mean an E28 M5
