Tricky decision Sean, I'll admit. British crap or Italian crap.Ole gits rule wrote: ↑Sun Sep 18, 2022 2:46 pm I used to like the look of the TR7 when they were launched, not so much now, would prefer a X1/9 these days
If it wasn't for the infamous Unions and labour strikes, the TR7 could have become a really good car. They had big plans for it going forward, but it never happened.
I am a child of the '70s and '80s so a piece of nostalgia as I get older fits the bill. Isn't that the reason why all 'modern classics' become popular, if they survived? The cars your dad never had, or did, and as children coveted.
When I was 8 or 9, my primary school teacher at the time (Mrs Douglas, I'll never forget her name), drove to school in a brown MGB V8. I thought she was a Goddess, just because of the car she drove. Nostalgia; what it's all about for me!
I owned a Mk3 Escort RS Turbo in 1988. I have seen really good examples for sale for £60k. Not because they are good cars, they're not, because people of our age who have the money want to re-live their youth.
