    Lotus Cortina Mk2

    I had one of these babies back in the day.
    I put 4 remould tyres on it and caned it to Devon.
    When I looked at the tyres in the morning they were as smooth as glass.
    I never told the bird I was with and drove home seven days later at about 45 miles an hour.

    True story.

    It wouldn’t be a Dakar one!! Plus my wife’s still getting over the shock from 2010 when I went out to order a bathroom and came back with a 911!

    Not quite. But my local 4x4 dealer has this. https://saxton4x4.co.uk/used/4x4/land-rover/defender-90/defender-90-2.2-td-xs-station-wagon-twisted-black-for-sale-au13twj/

    Practicality aside and money no object what would your dream car be?

    It would have to be a Lancia for me - would probably fall to bits but they're the cars I loved as a kid.

    Lancia Delta Integrale would probably be my choice.

    Ha! I had a Lancia 40 years ago. A Beta Coupe. I've since owned much better, (well very much quicker and more expensive anyway) vehicles but still consider that to have been the most fun. Steering was horrendously heavy though. A friend had a standard Fulvia Coupe which was beautiful. So, for me I think it would be a toss-up between a Lancia Fulvia Zagato and a Brooklands 280 Capri plus somewhere sensible to keep it. Apologies for the photo it's a scan of an old print from a dodgy camera.

    A friend of mine owned a Lancia Montecarlo - lovely car but as you can imagine destroyed by rust.

    Sadly so. There's still a few around but the prices are creeping up.

    You'd struggle to find many old Lancias that haven't rusted away. The Lancia Beta rust problems more or less killed it off as a brand
    and they never recovered.

    Anyone with an interest in classic cars should watch Chasing Classic Cars on Sky, some of the absolute beauties Wayne Carini buys and sells are stunning, but christ, they are worth a fortune.

    Well worth watching, as it's about the cars rather than him. Would love to have his mechanic, Roger on hand to help me out whenever I'm working on mine. Never gets in a flap and has forgotten more than I'll ever know about old cars.

    I love the flowing line of cars designed in the 1930s, so my choice would be this

  • Probably the one with the highest resale value, so I could sell it and drive something that suits me more.

    I had one of these for a while as a (very nippy) runaround

    I drove it out to Poland and had some great fun in the snow before it passed on to its current owner who still drives it on the Polish rally circuit. last I saw it was in full Martini racing colours which is how they should look

    EDIT-

    Just found a photo of it

    ooh, another car I've driven quite a bit as my brother had one, I think it was the R33 but not 100% on that

    I have never before or since driven something that corners so well, it just hugged the ground
