buy before I'd buy any of today's massproduced crap.... With these you don't a doctors education to change sparkplugs, if even possible with today's cars. When you open the bonnet/hood on these you can actually SEE the engine. Neither are these preset to a certain mileage as when to break down, so that you have to buy or lease a newer and "better" model, and they never let you down, they just keep on rolling in all kinds of weather....

I don't know how it is in Canada or US etc., but in Sweden cars that's over 30 old are taxfree....seen as "classics".

Much the same here but driving a Volvo from the Mid 60's til about 85 it was very expensive as all parts were Volvo and very few in the wrecking yards

One of these

4.5 420bhp V8, 0-60 in 3.9 and 0-100 in 10 seconds. No ABS, no airbags, no traction control. Or if you want to be less sociable

Only 2 seats, but with a car like this who needs friends?

Where is the VW Beetle?

Lucky13 · 01-12-2008, 04:16 PM

It'd have to be something like this then....

....or a tasty cal-looker.

Lucky13 · 01-12-2008, 04:36 PM

Wouldn't say no to these either...

Ausin Mini Cooper S...

1965 Lotus Cortina...

*car geek mode*

Is the first one not a late model Rover Mini Cooper as opposed to an Austin Cooper S?

Lucky13 · 01-12-2008, 04:46 PM

Too high-tech, I'd go for an Opel Ascona - simple, reliable, and fun to drive...

Aussie1001 · 01-13-2008, 05:28 AM

As ive said on many previous occasions id go with a Land Cruiser because the old ones are simply put indestructible
would fit LSD and lift kit as well as putting a long range fuel tank in.
LSD = Limited Slip Differential
