    Anyone on here owned a Jensen Interceptor? They always seemed pretty cool. Also, I've seen Niva's in the flesh in Europe, and they are indeed a pretty cool little car.

    Isn't that where Jensenman gets his handle from?

    I have had an Isetta, dated a girl with a GT turbo. I have also argued with Mustang "experts" that said it never existed.....

    Anyone own an Opel Manta? Fiat Brava?

    I would've said Skoda 130, but I had one

    I know the guy in Ontario that rallies one. Used to be ACP's. I wonder if he is on this site?

    How about a Fairlady (of whatever variety)?

    Renault R5 Turbo (probably not in the budget)

    Pontiac Aztek? The way car snobs rain hate on them, I'm sure no one's ever really owned one.

    Had a 79 2 liter brava. Cool car that gave the bmw 2002's and the 510's some competition in the small sedan category.

    Maserati biturbo?

    Fiat Strada?

    Opel Rekord (I think thats what its called)?

    BTW a non running (or running but broken) citroen sm can be found for $3-5k. Fixing things like 30 year old hydraulic self leveling headlights that are controlled by the hydraulic self leveling suspension, which will require every seal in the whole system to be replaced if anyone has put the wrong (as in normal for every other car) hydraulic fluid in it, and replacing the weak sodium filled valves with normal ones, retensioning the timing chain, and all the other fun things those cars need doesnt sound in the least bit fun though.

    I met a guy at Import Carlisle who had his Mazda Chantez GL there with him. Micro car with 2 stroke engine up front driving the rear wheels. Sounded,and smelled like a Evinrude. I bet noone else in the US let alone GRM has had one of them.

    Morris Minor traveller or pickup. Yes, there's a traveller for sale in classic, but certainly no pickup.

    Or a Citroen Dyane?
