10 cool second hand cars, what's everyone reckon?
« on: November 08, 2013, 05:40:54 PM »
And only one 4wd amongst them.

From:

http://www.theage.com.au/executive-style/motors/ten-secondhand-cars-that-ooze-cool-20131108-2x60h.html

Here are the first 5, I'll post the others up shortly.

Me, I'd like the Merc, or the Datto!

Here are the rest.

Don't think I'll put the D'marge magazine in question on my reading list!

Guess the writer has an appreciation for Ferdinand Porsche.

What do you reckon is cool?

I am guessing his taste is very different to mine. None of these would be on my cool list. Each to their own I suppose. :D

Of the ones pictured, the only one I have driven is the Alfa GTV V6. It was a nice drive. In the hands of its owner, It was a weapon, as long as you kept it in its favourable rev range of between 4000 and 5000rpm!

The Alfa for sure, perfect engineering in that fine vehicle.
I had the pleasure of building the gear box and diff for a V6 version once upon a time, and for those who may not know, the gear box is attached to the diff.
The test drive was me hanging on for dear life on the Old Pacific Hwy nth out of Hornsby at 01:00 am on a weekday. Still remember it well, nobody on the road, and a mad Italian at the wheel........

I have, and have had a few Alfas over the years.  I'd have another GTV6 in heartbeat.  Have to admit I've been coveting the 928 though, and the Moke.

I had a 76 Moke back when I was a younger lad & it was the most fun you could have on 4 wheels. I would have one in the shed right now if I could. Had a 76 clubman & a pretty hot 68 mini Deluxe as well. Good times.
Cheers, Mike.

Same here, love the E30's.  My mum had an E21 320 years ago and the old boy had an E36 318 for 15 years up until last year.  Both were like go karts, but lacked straight line handling.  A snail would have fixed that!


As for the list, not bad, but I'd ditch the bug for a MK1 Cortina.

Datsun 260z for me.  Always wanted one.
Karmann Ghia too!  Slow but the coolness makes up for it.

Owned an Alfa GTV6.  Loved that car.  Very quick

+1 GTV6 (but only as a second car that gets driven on Sundays)

Had a 318 (carby) from the first series in Germany many years back. Two tone lime green :) fun to drive but had snap oversteer which kept you "focused" in the twisty bits. Only caught me out once and I still, after almost 30 years, remember the surprise of facing the other way on a narrow road in the Odenwald region. Four speed manual meant sitting almost on the redline on the Autobarns. Didn't need to look at the speedo :)

Back to work....
