[QUOTE="pnomanikon, post: 736402, member: 43342"] Some interesting choices! 1) Jaguar E-Type : Do you prefer the early Gen 1 and Gen 2 models with the I-6 Engine or 1971-1975 Gen 3 models with the V-12? I saw a 1973 with the V-12 and 4-speed for sale a couple of years ago in Kenosha, WI for $149,000. 2) As I told a guy on the other forum, the British had some really cool sports cars in the 60s and 70s, but you must be able to speak the language of Lucas, the Prince of Darkness. Also, the art of synchronizing multiple Stromberg carbs was a gift given to very few. LOL I liked the MG Midgets. 3) '70 Superbird - Yes! 4) Saab Sonnet with their three-cylinder 2-Strokes (and later V-4 engines), along with fiberglass bodies, were certainly rare birds. Kind of a Swedish Opel GT. 5) Bricklin - yes, very interesting. It was a tough choice, but I chose the DeLorean. You couldn't get a flux capacitor in a Bricklin. 6) We bought a new '99 Contour just as we were shipping out to Germany for 3 years. I wanted to fit in traffic, and there are millions of Mondeos over there. We sold the car in 2013 with 185K miles on it. Still reliable, still clean as new inside and out. I wanted something newer since my wife drove from West Virginia to Wisconsin several times each year. Thanks for writing. [/QUOTE]
