Forecourt Legends

We're looking to launch a new feature in the mag next year featuring cars that we all loved,

 

It might be because it was sexy or quick, easy to sell or it never came back for repairs.

 

To help us choose some cars to feature vote for your choice here (you can choose more than 1) and keep an eye on the results

Can I also suggest the Peugeot 306!? We couldn't get enough of them!

The first Nissan Micra's, when I started off in business I could buy Freg to H reg ones from the local Nissan Dealer with low mileage for £200-£300 and sell easy for £795, then re-invest the money in a Nissan Primera which again would never break down !!! I took one on my old Mirca's that I sold 9 years ago back in part exchange last month, paid £250 for it in 2004 and still had to give £150 in p/x in 2013 !!!

 

Used to love Rover 214 or 216's too, in the case of the 216 SLi the words 'Its got the Honda engine and Power Steering' always used to seal the deal !! In the case of the 214's I used to twist the truth by claiming the K Series engine 'Was developed with Honda, Sir!!'...followed by....' it's got power steering Sir' which used to move  the conversation on !!!!!

Brilliant story! 'Developed by Honda'. Love it.

I remember hankering after the original 216 GTI, Mk1 1988 era car. Can;t remember the last time i saw one of those on the road !

The true classics are leading the way, Southend sea front wouldn't have been the same without them.
