There's a few I wouldn't mind, some cool, some less so... ie a nice '80/'90s Camaro, a big GM station wagon from the late sixties (VistaCruiser or similar), an early Chevrolet Lumina APV (or derivative and purely for sentimental reasons rather than because it's any good) Chrysler Concorde from the early/mid '90s. :D

There used to be one of them local to me  .... in fact one one for sale too. I was tempted at the time

There are loads of 50's Yank Tanks I've have .... Plymouth Fury, 59 Caddy etc etc

If I was forced to have one I would choose an old pickup truck from the 40,s or 50,s because they have a lot of character. Cars though - no thanks.

You can add 20% onto US mpg,  ....

12 to 18 miles per imp gallon then ....  ;)


That is about the same as a petrol Range Rover or Shogun.
You might squeeze it out of a V12 Jag on a motorway run. That does mean keeping it well under 100mph, which isn't easy ::)

Getting there would be just a dream (and probably most inadvisable given the suspension) in most asthmatic old yank tanks with similar thirst, though.
