Favourite 70’s and 80’s cars

First car I bought was a Mazda RX7, 1984, in black. Loved that car.

The targa top. His was an ‘A’ reg 83 IIRC. Probably a dodgy seal or some accident damage but he spent all his money on buying it and so was too skint to look after it properly - we used to fix and/or bodge everything on our cars then - wouldn’t know where to start on anything built from the mid 90s or so on. But then they are a lot more reliable so you don’t need to ;)

Talk about bodging cars, we used to use a really good quality newspaper to pack any holes before applying the filler!
I got a little MG Midget from the Auction one time & I swear it had more filler in the body than metal, Happy days.

Hahaha. Quality newspaper not any old shit for our bodging erm I mean cost effective repairs. Those were the days of taking a magnet to look around a car.

Was watching Car SOS the other night (feck knows what channel) and they did one of these. The V8 sounded bloody lovely actually.

Some years ago (late 90s maybe early 00s) I was offered a swap on my Saab 900 V6 against a Jensen Interceptor convertible. Turned it down as I needed a daily. I could cry now. Similar mid 00s I saw a Ford Escort S1 RS turbo with 70k miles for £1,500 debater buying it…never did. Like fishing stories I guess - the ones that got away.
