No more MR2s, Imprezas etc, does nobody make a good RWD or 4x4 old man's sport car anymore?

I regret selling my fiesta supersport. It won 1st prize at Haynes motor museum for best in XR category. Not many left on roads now.

This was one of mine, only I had my mid life crisis early in my 20's. Also Alfa Sud, Lotas Sunbeam, MGBGT, Dolomite, one of the early Msport 3 series... goes on.

Sorry, hope you didn't think it was the Bugatti Royalé that would've been something. It was the Vauxhall (Opel did the Monza), no picts on comp as no scanner and they're of the old paper variety. Here's some web pics.

Loved it, silver with burgundy interior. Not very bushy but a massive boot for camping equipment... (it had also had a few "things" done to it):)

I know where there's a Rover SDi tucked up in a farmers barn. Not much wrong apart from a bit of mould and some flat tyres. I've already made enquiries, gotta love a Scud!

I don't know what it is, but I can't see that kind of car as appealing...

I know I am 27 but I have never been a sports car guy and doubt I ever will be.
I am a fan of 4x4's and old van's and American pic ups.
