jag looks good, had one in the 80's wish i could afford one now. (fuel wise that is, as it would have to be petrol),

If I could not replace with a nice 75, ZT, it would be one of these

Not to all taste, but then I do like things a little different......

And you can quote me many examples where I have done this?

I think not in reality...

My comment was tongue in cheek....but, to add to your collection and for your delectation and meant in the best possible taste, humour and affection for the 1.8...

The term: 'You have a PM'

does not mean what peeps have always believed...t'is actually a term only used for those with a 1.8....

God bless the dear old 'Puddle-Maker'.

Anyway....I DID own one don'tcha know!

That one tickled me...very good

Cars wise, ideally a 75 V8 but that will have to wait. Next car will be an E39 BMW 540i auto, but I won't be getting rid of the 75.

>>>How about the rather rare coupe versions.<<<

I did not like the coupes one lil bit.

The long door was a pain to open if you parked sideways on a slope, it was also constantly dropping and needed adjusting, and why on earth would anyone want to have to climb into the back after moving a front seat out of the way, or make someone else get out of the car before the rear passenger can do so is a complete mystery to me. Coupes are horribe..

I hope to keep mine for as long as possible (no plans at all to get rid of it) but, god forbid if anything happened to it, i would search for one as near identical as possible, petrol or diesel, have to say i am very happy with the 1.8 K series, failing that i would go for a ZT V6 if it was immaculate, or a BMW 325i saloon (maybe)

Pound for pound there is not much that can touch the 75/ZT....I love mine

I've waited for thirteen years for mine, so no plans to replace, however a diesel Citroën would do, I suppose. If I could find one...
