Personally I'd go for the nice red XJS.

"This Allegro is the best foreign car I've owned".

This from a French man.

Enough said really 

[Webby the Bear]

And yes opti that jaaaaag looks great. Bunny girl an optional extra? 

[Mister Rog]

I always fancied the Rover. Never came close to owning one. But all cars from that era were rustbuckets.

[Sir Tigger KC]

My Morris Marina 1800TC Coupe finished in mustard with a black go faster stripe down the bonnet will always be in my top 10 of best cars I've owned! 

[BazaJT]

Of those,I've owned a mini[but not the clubman]and had 2 SD1's a series 1 3500 with manual box and a series 2 2L also with manual box.Rusty?Yes and with dodgy electrics!,but I'd have another-early V8S or later Vitesse Liked the Princess when it came out as it was different to the 3 box shape everyone else was moving to,never owned one but did later own an Ambassador which was actually a pretty good car and comfy too.

I note that the pompous customer talked about reclining seats as though they were a luxury item.

I suppose in 1975 a radio was an optional extra unless you bought a Datsun.

So would I, always like em....but would convert the headlights to double spots 

I once owned a SD1......didn't take me long to trash the engine 

Bought a VX Viceroy after that

I owned (was given free of charge) a 1981 Princess 1700. Actually not a bad car that handled well and proved to be very spacious.

I had a problem with something called 'displacers' which were part of the hydragas (I think) suspension.

No.. i love odd cars 

[Lizzie Zoom]

At that time we had Ford Company cars and I regularly thanked God that my Company never wanted to touch BL cars.  To me as a twenty year old they were a joke and were for "old people"

How about the much sought after All-aggro Vanden Plas?

[citroenguy]

I like that too, but my favourite is the 1750 HL
