I’ve just bought my dream car, a Jaguar that I’ve wanted for years. CasualUKers, what is a car you have always lusted after?

  4. Pleased for you! Mine would be a DB9 but I ain’t getting one of them anytime soon.

  5. The grandfather of your car, Jaguar XJS (or a Lynx Eventer)

    Failing that, Escort Cosworth 

  8. Not exactly luxury but a Saab 900.

    Something so tactile and appealing about them.

  9. Mitsubishi GTO twin turbo
    Now the car is old (along with myself) it’s not actually out of my budget.

  10. Sounds dumb but I really want a Suzuki Jimny or classic mini

  11. Mazda RX7, and it will still stay in a domain of a dream …

  12. Sad as it may be.

    I always wanted a JCW Mini.

    I have the JCW Mini Clubman and I love it very much.

    Aside from that I’ve always wanted a VX220 but that’s never going to happen now.

  14. I’m weirdly obsessed with the VW Phaeton – their ill advised attempt to build a luxury car to compete with Mercedes. 

    Apparently they’re fantastic cars, but nobody wanted to buy a “luxury” VW so they didn’t sell many. 

    I’d like to own one, but I know it’s a terrible idea because it would be a pain in the arse to keep running, as it’s got a shit load of complicated high tech stuff to go wrong. 

  16. For me a 1970-73 Pontiac trans am, wish I’d got one years ago when they were cheaper

  21. I have mine. It’s a Nissan Cube. I’ve wanted one since I saw it getting slated on Top Gear circa 2004. I know it divides opinion but I absolutely love everything about it. It makes me smile every time I see it.

    I have one of the few thousand Nissan imported in 2010 when they unsuccessfully tried to launch them in the UK but my dream would be a newer import direct from Japan with a higher spec. Maybe one day.

  24. Toyota GT86, and it’s looking like I’ll get one in the next 6 months.

  25. Lancia delta integrale HF, or a Porsche 930 turbo flat nose.

  26. My Dad’s Ford Sierra that he had from brand new. It was immaculate for its age, it set off a big family argument after he died as various people insisted he’d promised it to them. When it was eventually handed over to my uncle (he and my Dad were like best friends, always together) it was mysteriously set on fire. My family and my uncle’s family haven’t spoken to the rest of my Dad’s family since.

    I’ve always said that if I win any amount of money I’ll buy one in memory of him, and probably give that to my uncle as well, just to say fuck you to the rest of the family one more time.

  30. Ford Granada. So I can race around Manchester pretending I am Gene Hunt
