I would love to get my hands on a Ford Laser TX3 Turbo, one of the AWD ones but they're rare as now.
Or even a JZA70/MKIII Toyota Supra but the import with the 1JZ engine. 1980s is the oldest cars I'll go, mostly late 80s but I wouldn't mind an XE ESP out of the local stuff, I love the two tone color scheme. I do have a 1981 F100 but I'm not really too much into old school, she's a bit basic. |

My daily is a 1981 Trader, has a mere 360 000km's on it. Should I be expecting strangers to pull me over and offer me silly money to take it off my hands!?

Drove past a few times and was thinking about it, as I nearly bought one new back in the day but pulled out last minute due to the high price at the time. Will go past tomorrow (if I get a chance, if not next week some time) and see if it's still there. The guy that runs the place is a hoarder, and it's almost impossible to buy stuff off him, but he knows me well. Might hit him up for a price, and grab some photos if it's still there.

Also I wouldn't expect a quick sale with an 8 series. Most people don't know much about them. |

XE ESP Ghia with 351 is my dream. Or a plain XE GL with some work.

I remember when these were first released and I thought - that's the BMW ugly duckling, but now I reckon it was one of their best...
 Have one in a heartbeat...

RS2000, Sigma GSR, Laser TX 3 Turbo AWD would be some other interesting 80's cars when getting away from the V8's
