Bear with me on this.

Most people on here probably have cars such as an F40 or Countach or such like in their fantasy garage. And for the vast majority that is where they will stay.

However, what if your fantasy car were actually a Morris Marina? Something really affordable. Other people (and Top Gear) might laugh at you but....would you be having the last laugh as those people's only hope of getting their fantasy car is to win the lottery?

Appreciating, easy to repair, nostalgic, reliable (really).
Must be the cheapest practical transport penny for penny.
A fully specced 1800 super in flame red (dark bucket orange) cruises at 80.
Just safety is the big compromise.
Roll the dice, drive it all your life and hope a SUV crossover doesn't wipe you out, or that a sharp handling manoeuvre is required to miss a potential squishing.....
