Find me Some old School Cool!

[Carlos Harper]

So it's time for a change. I'd like a second car for weekends, touring and something a bit different/cool.

I'm going for something from 70s-80s, ideally a GT type, must be reasonably quick and not likely to lose too much in depreciation.

I'll be doing a maximum of 4k miles a year so something low mileage would be nice...but most importantly i want something with a bit of presence and style!

Max budget is £10k

So far i've been looking at a lot of xjs' but my wife thinks we're too young for a Jaaaag!

240/ 260z?

Capri 2.8i Special?

944 Turbo?

[Godzuki]

Opel Monza/Manta?

[Ecurie Ecosse]

Range Rover Classic - not fast, but fits your other criteria.

if you've got 10k to play with i'd think a bit bigger than capri/manta.

unless you want to buy my 24v capri, in which case that'll be £9995 please.

my dad talked me out of buying a red liftback one of these for 300 quid in 1989.

I love Japanese cars... If I won a shedload of money, I wouldn't have ferraris or porsches. I'd have a warehouse ful of Z-cars, Celicas, Datsun GTR's, and so on.

Not that you're bitter though.
