Nissan/Datsun original 240z convertible with hardtop. Blew away every Brit sports car at the time. Drove and handled like no contemporary.
I've learned something today, as I never knew there was a convertible version of the 240Z. I'm not a big fan of soft tops so for me I'd go for a coupe in lime green (the only car that I've ever seen where that is the perfect colour).0 -

I only know it as it had the fastest 0-60 time in the set of top trumps we used to play every morning before school started.0 -
The W116-generation S-class Mercedes-Benz from the 1970's.
Still looks cool today.0 -
I really like the older Saabs 99, 90, 900 etc. In fact I might look out for a nice 900, which might even qualify for Bangornomics membership!!"For every complicated problem, there is always a simple, wrong answer"0

When I get to that age and have to sell / scrap the two seater I've been using as my daily driver for the last 14 years and hope to use for another 20, I think I'll get one of the last V8 90s / Defenders.EssexExile wrote: »Unfortunately when you get old & decrepit ease of access becomes more important than looks.:(Proud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20230 -

No, you'll need something with softer suspension! Believe me, I know!Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.0 -

My wife's comment:
RR, normal bra
90, sports bra
S2a, neck brace.If someone is nice to you but rude to the waiter, they are not a nice person.0 -
Jaguar XJ8 ....the x308 model. I owned one for 16 years ....mechanically it never missed a beat but sadly it developed severe corrosion around the front suspension. I think that it was the best styled Jag saloon ever. Superb all round visibility from the driver's seat.0

They're OK on coil springs in my experience. The older ones on leaf springs are bouncy as though, I'd agree. Once upon a time had a S2a with a Ford V6 conversion, you wouldn't drive it over 50mph for anything! :rotfl:EssexExile wrote: »No, you'll need something with softer suspension!
