AndyT Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 I had the Kadett 1200 as a first car. RWD 1200 on skinny wheels. It was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 If I could find either a totally rust free Opel GT or a similar Volvo 1800ES I'd buy it. I've been looking for years though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethr Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Always liked the old A-series Mantas. I had a 1.9 Berlinetta for a while, in lovely 70s orange with Rostyles, until I stopped at a pedestrian crossing and the Mk1 Escort behind me didn't. He then finished the Manta off completely by crashing it into a Mini when he was taking it to the bodyshop where he worked. They have all rusted away now, but it makes a nice retro special with a 16v Vauxhall and a 5-speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
