Classic Saloon
 
I'm thinking of getting a classic saloon that I can use to take the family to classic car shows.

I thought about a Rolls Royce Shadow (too ostentatious) or an Allegro (too austin-tatious). I've narrowed it down to a Cortina or a Dolomite, can you think of anything else?

It needs to be a 4 door and a cripple frinendly automatic.

Cheers

Chris :)

Stumped for choice if has to be orthopeadic(auto) otherwise my XR4i would be ideal as for some odd reason it's classed as a classic car for insurance so only £160 a year fully comp for a loon like me....:D

Princess?....fugly things but huge inside for lots of folk and stuff.

VX490(think thats what they are called anyway) Vauxhall if you can find one!

Mogworth thou?

Why not just get a Jag?

Depends how far back you want to go, if I were in the market for a classic would be either a Rover SD1 or Triumph 2000. Of course I woudn't say no to a Stag.:D

Hmmm, the Jag and the SD1 are a bit big, triumph 2000 is a good shout though - my dad had one o' them!

Chers

How bout a Ford Zephyr or Zodiac 6? :confused: plenty of room, classic styling and reliable too!

Classic car
 
I was going to say, Triumph Vitesse Or Tiumph Vitesse.

Then I noticed the 4 door, auto thingy. :(

Hows about the Triumph 2500 PI ?? , they were quite lively. :D :D

I have a mint Audi 90 Quattro 4 door if you are interested but it's not automatic.
