If Ford/GMC/Volvo etc etc  were to remake one of their older models from the year 1970 - 1990 what would you like reproduced? and would you pay the equivelant new price in todays money for it?

for me its a toss between a Mk2 cav sri saloon (in black)
or a Mk4 Cortina Ghia V6

Cavalier sri 130 saloon also black or a black carlton gsi 24v

My MV6 has some very similar DNA to my old Cortina 1600 GT and Mk2 Cavalier SRi 130.

I had a 'Viva' Magnum 1800, but that wasn't nearly as good.

I will keep saying it. The image is awful - but the Impreza WRX is a level above everything else I have had.

Edit - strike the Scooby comment - it came after 1990...

Not many from that period for me but give me a  Rover P6, P5 or P4 or late 50's Vauxhall Velox ,I always liked the Cortina Mk2 1600E  when I was a lad, but a bit naff now.

Well no surprises from me, it would  have to be the Opel Manta, now ig GM remade it with say the 3.0 V6 and just put a better rear suspension on it, I would be a happy chappy.

Would I pay for it, not until it was 3 years old, but then I will never buy a car newer than that.

[albitz]

Chevette HS for fun and 24v Senator for the motorway (full rustproofing required on both).

[Jay w]

Cavalier Calibre - now less than 150 left

Manta GTE with the quad lights.

Manta A - now that was a stunningly pretty car, but with a 2.0 XE engine

Opel GT, like a mini stingray, but only sweeter

Sanator with Lotus cartlon running gear....

Chevette HSR....the R bit is really important

that would keep me happy i suppose

as an equivilent to a smart car i would have a 970s Mini Cooper, old english white with a black roof

[Vamps]

Rover P6B with the the added benefit of a later, larger, RR engine and 5 or 6 speed gearbox.

Or a Mini Cooper................

There's a couple of them rusting in peace (or pieces .. however you look at it  ) in the yard of a body shop/recovery firm near me.  

Senator with Lotus cartlon running gear....

There was one on AutoTrader very recently ... advertised for £10 000  :-?

I know there's better, but it wasn't that bad. It was leagues ahead of the cart springs that Ford were offering on the back of a Capri
