The NSU Ro80. I had one for four years but, although everything worked, wasn't able to restore it properly, so it was sold to a fella in Coulsdon who already owned ten of the things.....

My one had a Mazda 13B (2.6-litre equivalent) rotary fitted by the previous owner

Very interesting to see what various members would opt for and why.

Me too. I love Porsche 928s, the trouble is even though you can pick good ones up for well under 20k they still cost the same as any other 70k supercar to run.
