[qureshia]

Looking for something a bit different and special but that can also be used for long drives no problems

Ideally from the 90's with 4 seats - any suggestions


Yesterdays heroes I have already owned


Honda ITR
Honda NSX
Merc 500 SEC
Porsche 993 4S

Aston Martin Virage, Volante or better yet Vantage

Audi RS2
Saab 900 Turbo
Lotus Carlton
Corrado

got to be the escort cosworth

[williamp]

BMW M3 or M5 (*even the non-M versions are good cars)
Volvo 850T5R

[qureshia]

had a Corrado in the 90's great car

Cosworth - would love to but the mrs would kill me

From the early 90s, one of the last Audi ur-quattros, great engine note and big cabin. Would suggest a 635 (see profile), but too old and the back seats are pretty cramped.

ie, http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/445309.htm - yummy!

another idea: Saab 900 Turbo or convertable (or both). The last of the line are J-reg I think.

The ur quattro Production ended in 1990 with the 20V version only 295 sold in the UK. there are a few 91's around. This is a full four seater, that will cross continents with no aches or pains.

L-reg.

The last non-convertible 900's rolled off the line in March 1993.
Convertible prodution continued in Finland for another 6 months or so IIRC.

The likes of the Lotus-Carlton is already in 'classic' status, as is the Escort Cossie, and Integrale EVO's, Scooby P1 and 22B's etc.

Of the 'mundane' stuff the 900 as mentioned, especially in T16 form, as well as the now rare 9000 Aero's and the Volvo T5R's are definate candidates.
Clio Wiliiams perhaps too...?

Bit out of the blue, but Cavalier 4x4 Turbo (If you can find a non-chavved one).
I've had a couple now and they still drive well for the age and parts are readily avaliable through such forums like www.CavalierCrazy.co.uk and www.ctor.com

Still holding good money for a Cav too...

[ChrisDT]

Cavalier 4x4 Turbo or just a normal Cavalier GSI maybe?
Starting to appreciate in price and have a good following...

Guy I used to work with had the 4x4 version of the GSI, he used to call it the Vauxhall Babara Cartland because of the length of the badge.

Lotus Carlton

Maserati 3200 GT, loads of room in the back, and more boost lunacy than a box T16 Saabs or Audi Quattros!

Ok they only went on sale in 99 but that's still the 90's!
