Cool Late 80's/Early 90's Cars

Any ideas...

Something cool and 'collectable' that will remind me of growing up and will get nods of approval.

Standard or close - def no 'orrible mods or wheels.

Without going silly on money and running costs.

Cheap n cheerful.

Mk2 Golf GTI Oak Green
Astra GTE
Cavalier GSI Turbo
R5 GTT
Rover 200 BRM
Tomcat

I'd rather avoid the standard issue stuff that I've owned or been around or mass produced jap crap.
205 GTI
XR3i/RST
RS2k

ETC ETC

Just a thought or two

R19 16v - looked - absolutely rocking horses at the mo.

UR is nice but the wrong side of 10k really I think but I have been looking.

Lancia's don't do it for me for some reason.

Love the 6 series, what about an E30 325i?
Out of the list above I thinks I'd choose the R5 or Mk2 Astra

I said in 2009 i'd take this out the garage, but it's still there....

It's actually one of the really rare 'antiskid' models
