What cheap snotter would you buy (and be happy to run)?

[Garlick]

Me? I really fancy a Mk2 Granada Ghia X estate, a Morris Ital (as usual) and a Cavalier SRI 130

What banger would you enjoy, but more importantly, nobody else would understand?

[LHD]

A Sierra XR4x4i.

Or a Vauhall Senator CD

[ewenm]

A Volvo 240 Estate - I learnt to drive in one and would run one as a banger if I needed such a car.

[Heathwood]

A nice straight mk2 Golf Gti 8 valve. Cheap as chips for all but the most cherished examples. I still miss mine.

[Somnophore]

XR4x4
Audi 80 tdi estate (tank) lol
Citroën BX GTI

[Caruso]

An early shape Rover 214.

[adycav]

Ex fuzz-style 24v Senator
Saab 9000 Aero
Volvo 164 3.0

[bennno]

Cheap berlingo

When accompanied by a good Volvoe/Merc indie service garage. Cheap cars that won't break and have a certain retro cool about them... I quite fance a 240 estate actually - Damn you ewenm!!

[W00DY]

Peugeot 505
Citroen Xantia Activa
Buick LeSabre
VW Sharan VR6
Renault Feugo
Vauxhall Monterey
Renault Vel Satis
Lada Niva

Just off the top of my head. There must be loads more.

[Pferdestarke]

A '96 Honda Legend

Cavalier GSI

And a Subaru Leone Turbo in black, on a C plate with Checked velour on half leather. What a noise that thing made - and it had a GREEN light on the dash to let you know when the turbo spooled up. Shirley it should've been red?

[supersingle]

I fancy a Xantia estate. I could run it on chip fat and waste hours making the suspension go up and down.

Simple pleasures.

[Fartgalen]

A MkIII Cortina

[Mikey_W]

Audi 90 Quattro
Peugeot 205 STDT

[mikefacel]

Renault Fuego.

Renault Vel Satis.

Was just going to post this

Have a real craving for an old 7 series too.

[Garlick]

Some of these cars are rather cool though?

I'm thinking of the look on my Mrs face as I present the Ital 1.7 HLE. Even she can appreciate a Benz, Jag etc.
