Nothing. But I did pass an absolute minter of a Vauxhall Chevette on my way into work today.

GS? Not sure but looked good in silver.

ETA: Looked just like this.....

Nothing yet, but would love an Alvis TD/TE

I used to have moggies about 20 odd years ago. Brilliant cars that are ultra reliable I found.

The only time mine left me stranded was when the diaphram on the petrol pump dried up. I was advised that this could be the problem and should hit it with a stout lump of wood I did and the strange thing was IT WORKED, the pump started ticking away and then I started her up

I have a '65 MGB roadster, but it's been seriously modified (155 hp engine, better brakes, some suspension mods).

A Big Healey, an Aston Martin, a Lotus and some more are on my wish list but the MGB is expensive enough to maintain as things are now (being a student)

[v8thunder]

I'm a student right now but I see classic cars as a way to enjoy luxury and performance - and a great driving experience - at affordable prices. I'm looking at buying my first classic next year - I'm thinking something American (not a V8 though), solid, reliable, cheap to buy, run and, through the right companies, insure.

A friend of mine drives a Chrysler LeBaron Convertible when she's at home. I might do the same...

[twit]

I've got a 1956 Landie...

Not at all sporty, struggles above about 50MPH, can't tell cos the needle bounces everywhere. Completely freezing most of the time but a great laugh!!!

That's why I always carry an appropriate cudgel next to the driver's seat.

The list

1932 austin seven special, with modded engine (about 25 bhp)
1971 Morris minor

The next car needs to be less practical than the austin seven, any suggestions??

[lanciachris]

1985 Lancia Beta HPE Volumex..

Formerly a 84 one as well

[trooper1212]

I was bought a 1967 MGB GT on my 17th (or was it 18th?) birthday and subsequently owned it for about 6 years, did a full restoration with my old man (well he did a full restoration and I pointed saying "what's that do").
Finally got it on the road for the start of my 3rd year at Uni.

Now I've got a modified 1982 Mk1 VW Golf Gti and my dad has my sisters midget under covers, waiting to be restored for the second time, and has an MGB V8 convertible he has just finished.

[900T-R]

Seriously modified/re-engineered 1985 Saab 900 Turbo.

Less practical than a 7? How about a Morgan three wheeler? Or maybe a Trojan Utility?

[Stella star]

Mg midget - heavily modified
E-type

Mini (not really classic and not really mine neither and not a road car)

(Recently had MGB, MGB GT V8, Rover P6,other minis)

[V12Bob]

I'm a little confused, I can't decide wether I belong here or not.
If you have a copy of the November issue of Classic cars, mine can be found on the front cover and page 69 (where else). Is she one of yesterdays hero's?

[Pigeon]

1978 MZ TS250/1, electrical system completely replaced using thicker wire and soldered joints wherever possible.

Vehicles which I remember with affection include 1966 Volvo Amazon and 1971 Morris Minor. The Amazon had the fuel-injected engine from the 1800E, and the Moggy ended up with a 1300 A-series, twin SUs, tubular manifold modified from a Midget manifold, silencer section replaced with straight pipe and the rear section, including rear silencer, off a Marina.
