Other vehicles you like but can’t have!

Bizarre aren't they?
I've only ever scene* a couple, the last at a retro show a couple of years ago and this one is just down the road in the Leicesters.

 

They're a bloody oddity too - essentially a rebodied Opel Senator!

An eFriend of mine had one.
And it was like, 'never meet your hero'.
It caused him many thousands of pounds worth of stress.

I suspect it's a car I could own, if both of my balls were steel.

 

I may have gone back off track again when I mention the Triumph GT6


And

The Matra-Simca Baghera



Matra-Simca Murena

It's the interiors though on the Bagheera...



They really are special.
I'm not keen on the poncy flared arches on that Murena though Jules, they're not factory are they?
A bloke I used to work with owned a Murena, the chap he bought it off spent ages banging on about how cheap it was to insure
& actually showed them his certificate, which said on it very clearly - MARINA!

 

I nearly bought one when I was 22yrs but the first wife expressed her dislike.......another car I should have bought and would have ended up saving money in the long run.

 

Can I just take this opportunity to express my dislike of your first wife.

 

The current Mrs T (whom you know) has categorically told me I can’t have a Bond Bug



Or an Opel GT

I thought that the present Mrs T was a keeper, but frankly it's beginning to look like she's on borrrowed time as well.

 

Or my first Alfa from the mid 1980s (found an old photo of it):

A few months or so ago, and a year too late, I saw an old advert for an Alfa Sud Sprint like the above that someone had fitted a V6 into the rear of.


If the ad hadn’t been out of date I’d have bought it instantly.

And a red Dino 246 would do me too.
Or even a Fiat Dino.

Or an E-type

Or a DB6

Etc. etc.

Tell her she's wrong, and buy an Opel GT RIGHT NOW

 

This is beautiful

 

Would have to be Thunderbird 2, expecially if all the different pods came with it. Failing that, a BRG GT6.

Don't take pod 1. It's just full of gardening tools and the lawnmower.

 

What’s you’re thoughts on the Opel Manta A

Nice as well, but not as sexy as the GT. Didn't used to see many Manta As, even in Germany.

Early Manta B hatches (without the body kit) were nice as well. I used to have a Cavalier Sportshatch (the same thing, but with the Vauxhall chicken on), and it was super-duper. Wish I still had it

 

Couldn't fit in the one I had as a kid

 

My old Audi 80 back. You could call it a bit dull, but I loved it: rock hard, practical and galvanised
