I have a similar list - it's because I can afford them!

But that's the thing. Given the opportunty to own a 2CV or a mkII jag I think I'd take the 2CV. It's the same for most of them. I think it's the character about them, and the fact they wrestle with major issues. Their fighting spirit.

A garage near to me have an Allegro estate on their front,
every time I drive past, I check to see if it's still there.

It's still there and I swear it looks more appealing each time I see it.

My dirty secret would be an Allegro Equipe.



Obviously, that's crying out for a T-series turbo lump.
