So Nissan are bring back the Datsun after 30 years

[Shaun]

The above list is pretty much what was coming through the gates of the recycling yard I worked for as my first full-time job (many, many moons ago):

Marina's, Toledo's, Simca, Datsun, Opel (still the European name for Vauxhall isn't it?) Manta's, Lancia's (4WD rally cars along with the Quattro's), Mini Cooper S ... and then, behold, the legendary Sierra Cosworth RS500!!!

And they 'ad nowt in them days - no air-con, power steering, central locking, electronic doo-dah's under the bonnet. Kids today, they don't know they're born ...

I was going to support you fully, until I realised you meant the car !

How about the Austin Allegro with the square steering wheel?

(only joking - as presumably was the designer of that one).

How about the Austin Allegro with the square steering wheel?

Only if it was an estate or the Vanden Plas model in turd brown

Renault 17
Renault 12 Gordini (because you couldn't make it up)
Renault 8 Gordini

Citroen Ami 6 (that it was even drawn on a piece of paper is a miracle. I smile every time I see one).
Citroen 2cv (first disc-brake model)
Citroen GS (first series)
Citroen ID/DS (most models)

1963 Ford Corsair

Volvo 164. Forgotten bruiser. Lots of weight, little power, but something like grace.

1950s/60s Humber Super Snipe

All the Land Crabs ever made... gloriously, illogically English.

Peugeot 204/304 Cabriolets.
Peugeot 404/504 Cabriolets

Opel Manta (Series 1)

Sorry, I don't want to fill the Internets right up, but there is a rich seam of motoring beauty and nostalgia here....

are you sure thats not the Chrysler 300C touring ?

Allegro square wheel was brilliant, Quartic i think it was called. the car itself was gash.
would love Audi to make a decent short sport quattro again

No I'm not, I'm being dazzlingly sharp and witty!

Gimme a break, I've got patchwork feet thanks to a sandal/lack of suncream incident.

My sister went out and bought one, my dad drove it, he promptly took the keys of her. Rapid and handled like it was on rails. Fabulous.
