What car would you like to own for the nostalgia?
Discussion
What car would you like to own for the nostalgia? Doesn't have to be one you owned before but maybe something you promised yourself a long time ago when it was new and never got around to owning.
Mine would be one of these in cherry red, although I always seem to get speeding tickets in bright red cars (no matter how slow), so maybe alpine white would be a better choice.
This was the car that I had wanted to own since about 10 years old and finally 12 years later, I realised my dream albeit with a laser green 1.6. It was everything that I had hoped for and more! It's just that I promised myself that I would get a 1.9 one day and I never did!

I'd love a 106 GTi again, first car and one of the most fun.
Weirdly, I'd also love a classic Ferrari. Never been in one, never driven one but for some reason I cant shake off how effortlessly cool they are. I can imagine the smell would be incredible...old leather and poorly burned fuel. God I am sad!

The one I have, Saab 900 T16S in black. I often daydream about what it would have been like to turn up at the dealership on a sunny Saturday morning seeing it gleaming in the sun, sign the docs, slip into the leather seats, shades on, sunroof open and drive it off the forecourt with a depeche mode tape in the player. New car smell, not a blemish anywhere 
TVR Cerbera. I remember when they were released, I remember a newspaper article of one racing a fighter jet and I remember seeing one for the first time in my home town. It was parked outside a shop, and the owner came over, smiled at me and opened it. The unique door opening mechanism amazed me.
One of those, no doubt.
I will buy one soon.

I envy you. That one's a keeper!

Do it. Truly awesome cars. One of those, no doubt.

I'd have an early (carburettors), black, 308 GTS - a software engineer I knew years ago ran one new, the first Ferrari I had been in ever, was proper formative petrol head stuff - the look of the thing, the open shift gate, the induction sound etc. He drove me over to my g/f house one day and she sat on my lap to go out for a spin - good memories!
