Here's my 2.1 L Mark 2 Mexico that I used to compete in the South west speed event championships in the 1980's.

Ha. The Mini shares a joint BMW-PSA 1.6 litre engine.

So much for 'german' cars.

The DS is considered a classic worldwide so you're not only disagreeing with me.

ha to you as well mate

My 2003 S has the Tritec engine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tritec_engine

The other good thing is that Mini's are built here giving some jobs to Brits

I love France and like the French....just not their cars.

You ought to get reading Retro Ford mate if you haven't already. There are some cracking cars in there (my personal fave was a Mk3 Capri with a 5.0 Lincoln V8 conversion).

I also like classic/retro Fords, particularly Mk1/Mk2 Escort RS1800/2000/Mexicos and Mk3 Capris.

I get Practical Classic magazine, I'll look out Retro Ford. Have you seen the 3.5 V8 Mk2 Escort?

Not too sure, I have read quite a few Retro Ford mags so can't remember every single car. The things they do to these classics is unreal, especially Anglias. There was a feature on one that had been built to current rally spec! Forget the modern fast Fords, would rather have a modified Mk1/2 Escort or a Capri any day. Bags more character, plus rear-wheel drive.
 
I had the luck to be the passenger of a SM "Maserati" long time ago ( early 70's ? ) , great souvenir !!! Association of a Maserati motor ( what a noise ,just like music !!) and Citroen suspension . Not a real success , but what a car ...
 
I could not even comprehend how much one of those things would cost to keep on the road money would be far better spent on a classic aircraft like a Chippie , Tiger Moth , Cub , Citabria and I'd have bags of money left over
 
How would any of these fit your wallet then mate/ 8)
