Which car from 1980 would you run as a DD?

[StuntmanMike]

Following on from the other thread, you will buy it from a show room, it will arrive in 2014 new.

I'll take a Ford Capri 3.0 S, not fussed about the colour, although stratos silver sounds nice, as will my V6 as I am driving to work.

I run this. And I love it.

That sir is stunning.

[MrMoonyMan]

Thank you. It is in fact all new, as per the thread idea.

Newly rebuilt and painted with upgraded brakes, turbo, cooling, suspension, ecu and stereo.

My idea was to take a car I already loved and make it 'new' to use every day in the summer.

It's taken a few years but really is great now, 2500 miles in.

Run this as a daily no money fun car...

Ah you've taken my choice. Although personally I'd have my 3.0S in signal orange with an x-pack.

Mr2 along as you can get it rust free and rust proof it. One of the best looking cars ever in my humble opinion

[nct001]

How about

[LaurasOtherHalf]

Meh, who cares. I want to tell people what daily driver from the '70s I would drive but there's no thread for that yet.
