Default Old cars that still look good now

Sat next to a Mk 2 MR2 at the lights today.

Had to be 20 years old but thought it still looked bloody good and not out of place

However, you either get it, or you don't.

Audi Quattro SWB, just everything about this car makes me weak at the knees, original ones are rare but the replicas are even cool and especially as you dont mind chopping a replica up and putting some serious power through them!!:luvl ove:

205 GTi's still look good considering they're 30 years old! Really well proportioned design

205 GTI is still one of the best looking hot hatches ever made - thanks to Pininfarina

Still never even sat in one, never mind driven.

Totally. They possess that 'I want to pick it up and play with it' toy-like quality. They're so tight...'nuggety'.

(Mind, the 1.9's gorgeous alloys take a large part of the credit lol).

Nissan 200sx s14a still look really smart especially when they're lowered on a nice set of wheels I've owned a few and would have another in a heart beat

Not sure this, or any other 'modified' car could qualify? Surely it's all about how it looked when it left the factory?

For me, there are a couple..

Escort RS Cosworth
VW Corrado G60
Tommy Makinnen Evo (in red)
Mercedes McLaren SLR

Pininfarina only did the cti not the gti. I have a 1990 1.9 205gti that I need to sell but I just can't bring myself to do it. It has been off the road for a few years now and deserves a better home but every year I hold on to it the value just increases.

People have been spot on with designs that have stood the test of time.

Can't see anyone caring about a BMW X5 in 20 years !

(Supra good call btw)

Always had a soft spot for the 900 Turbo in black. Still have, sort of. Especially, the Carlsson, of course.

Old school, exciting turbo delivery.

Always loved the styling of the Abarth 131 Rally.
