Gone and got my self and 1974 mercedes W114 wanted one for ages and just wondered what classics you guys and galls liked. (dont have to be a ford)

 

Jaguar e type or rs200 for me

 

ive had all sorts of Fords, VW`s, BMW`s etc

but this classic rocks them all

1983 Audi 80 1.9 5 cylnder (screaming though a single box noise cannon, flames R us! )

 

Very nice, is it a 4 pot or 6 pot? They replaced the "Fintail's" W110.

I have always been brought up with Classic's as my Dad has just a few

Despite being 23 I would not mind a Rover P6 V8 or a Farina for use as a daily car, don't like modern cars, sadly though you can not do so certainly in the latter case, as they are stolen for banger racing.

My current classic...



Previous...



Much prefer classics to modern stuff, actually have to DRIVE them. Been brought up on classics too. Being 23 most of my mates don't understand lol

Oh, and the older the better, would love a car from the twenties maybe earlier.

 

Mine would be ;posche 356 speedster,mg-b-v8 ,ac cobra,TR8,tiger,jag D- type,dino

 

I love my cossie, but also have a mk1 mini early one with floor start and a mk2 mini cooper. Cheap to run and good fun for what they are, not fast but still fun.

 

4x4 cossie powered ford pop is on my wish list or a Humber super snipe with jag running gear, love old cars

 

Ive also got a pre facelift W114 280e 1973
Engine has just been changed and waiting to fire it up some time soon!
Did you buy saloon or coupe? Engine?

 

I would like a jenson or triumph spitfire just for cruising around in the summer

 

Maybe am boring but a Pontiac GTO Judge might be on the cards if the choice was given.

 

Ive a w114 280ce coupe and not sure what to do with it too keep it and V8 it or try move it on

 

my 1954 F100, 7.5ltr v8, ford explorer axle, steel flip front, hope to be fitting electric windows today

 

^ ^

Good friend of mine is resto'ing an old Chev 1/2 ton. Retro is good!

How's that 400+ cu in liking the gas?

 

I like that many classics i wouldnt know what to choose!!!

Last sunday at a show, i seen an orange Fiat 131 Mirifiore Sport that was the absolute dogs dick!!!! Was fantastic!!!!

 

I love most old cars. New cars look boring.

I love the old american muscle cars.

 

i had both a alfa and fiat at 18 and loved them but there so hard to find these day's

 

Iv got a mk 2 escort estate, parents have a mercades 220 seb convertible 1962 with around 70k genuine miles on it

 

Love that Audi 80 sport,one of my fave ever cars,can't believe how overlooked they were in the 80's?
Love classics,really fancy a nice triumph stag,mates old man had one in blue SLF 303L back pretty much from new.
They may still own it,complete with the triumph V8.
Super cool.

 

Good choice!! I'd love a Strada, can't be many left now though

 

mk2 jag in black red leather interior oh yes

 

Mine.............


















Hope ya like

 

 

I would love a MK1 Granada 3.0 Auto in drak blue,like my dad had when I was young

 

There's a Strada 130TC on eBay 10 minutes from me, a real beauty, featured in the latest Retro Cars magazine.

Yeah big into classics of all shapes and sizes, in the past 12 months I've had a 1933 Ford Y-Type, 100e Popular, Austin A30, Standard Ten, FIAT X1/9, Mercedes 560SEC, MK1 Golf GTi Convertible, MG Midget 1500 and currently still have an Alfa GTV6, which is a 1998 so not so much a classic, but you still see them in the classic car magazines and I bought it at a Classic Car Auction, so is accepted as a modern classic

 

he put a vid up

Nah that ain't the one, this one was grey.

 

love that audi 80, and the granada!

Its a W114 4dr 2.8 single cam (m130) twincarbs and a auto box
some of you may have seen it, it was for sale on retro rides.
ill pop a picture up, theres a fair bit of welding to do but not too ban concidering.
the last one i looked at was more money and was ALOT worse off welding wise.

 

and basicly plan just to tidy it up for now and get some white walls like this

 

^^^^ that's crying out for hydraulics

 

Just going to keep it original, And enjoy it while I can plus my old man will use it too.
I did want one on airbags and some reverse lased wire wheels

 

That looks lovely
Nice colour aswell.

Mines a 280/6 cylinder twin overhead cam engine(M110) on pre facelift M reg. Auto with tan(orange!!!) mb tex (fake leather)interior.
Being pre facelift its got differnt back lights(chrome surround ones), Different wing mirror(these cars only came with one drivers side), twin front bumper, rear bumper chrome extensions upto wheel arches(wrap around) and the front opening quater windows.

Will defo be slammed at some point,or maybe air ride???? but thats about all ill be doing to it, i think!

Ive also got a W123 230e, which has been updated with 280 options(wrap around bumpers),Rear light chrome strips etc etc. from W123 280.
This is been pimped i.e SLAMMED to the floor, again not going to do much else(i tink!!)

Can you beleive i recently found 2 complete coupes in the scrap yard, which i borrowed some bits from, nobodys touched them they been there for about 6 months now. I never thought i would see these in normal scrap yard, maybe in specialist breakers.

 

you were lucky to see 2 in a breakers, i never liked the coupe models think the 4dr looks miles better.
I could do with a boot for mine i can repair the one its got but if i find a cheap replacement ill just swap it.
got a pic of the slammed w123?
theres a w123 estate for sale one ebay with some white walls it looks well but abit over priced

 

Dito, always prefered the saloon also.
Yes got plenty pics but never figured how to upload on here!!!

 

its not on the road yet so don't know about mpg, 460cu in isn't going to be light on the pocket though

 

I've got a mk2 escort 1600 sport

 

tried a different wheel, 18x10, think it needs bigger, its got 5 link rear end as well now

 

LOVE the F100, IMO the wheels need to be naked steels on it, possibly with white band tyres.

 

mk2 escort rs2000 or mk1 gordini renner 5 turb for me.

 

i would love a sunbeam or chevette hs or a mk2 mexico
