One of the following

I had a fun race with a 2.0 Capri and my dad beat an XR3i

That's rubber-stamped it then - think I'll have a bid on this!

I've gone as far as buying Ron Champion's "Build your own sports car" for £250 about 5 years ago, but have never got round to it.  One day...

But seeing as Mk2 Escorts are a bit thin on the ground (at reasonable prices), and Sierra's are starting to get the same way, how about using an Omega that's getting ready for the scrapper?  Now then...  :-/

That was a bloody expensive book. You should have tried Amazon.com.  ::)

Hmmm,

Rover SD1 V8 Vitesse

But really the second car would have to be a fair bit cheaper to run than the Omega.

Started looking at Calibra's again. Quite a few 8 Valve ones about for peanuts.......

Aye, I do like Calibra's, especially the Met Blue SE8's with cream leather interior...

Not that long back for me - I still had it 8 years ago - but it was off the road for 4 years

I would not be - no as much safety, but easy to work on, handle well and very comfy
