Well!, thank you all for your interesting comments. I am still unsure what it is I want!(typical) but I think its between a late 2nd generation,1980 or 3rd generation,1992...What does seem apparent to me is that the colour of the car has a bearing on its desirability, I have a leaning towards light coloured paint, white(then to make life difficult I quite like the purple colour!) I am not looking forhigh performance, if I wanted that I'd probablybe looking for a Porsche or a Jag. What I want is something that is aesthetically pleasing to my eye and I can enjoy the exhaust note of a big engine. I am hitting 70 next year and am no longer "a boy racer"! People buy cars for all sorts of reasons, the foregoing are mine.
