Default So what's next for Subarman?
Some cars from the past to get you guessing!

43 years of ownership between them!!!!


Winning a cup at Classic Car Show with Sprint


Professional photo shoot for magazine


Wish I'd never sold this, kept from 1973 to 1978


Loved this too, in 1977, big Wolfrace alloys - yum!


Had all of these at one time, must have liked green!


Last bike I had, in 1982


Another Ford, for Julia

That mexico would of been worth a small fortune by now, always loved the MK1 and MK2 escorts, wish I'd bought one when I had a chance to a few years back.

Technology!

Sounds like your looking for a true weekend toy / enthusiasts classic.

You already have your legacy to keep fly the Subaru flag.!

So I would say another Sprint would fit nicely in your garage, and be an alternative scene and club meet for you to spend your summer evenings/weekends going to. Or and old school ford.

Have you already got something lined up Keith? I'd love to have a classic I could tinker with. I'm sure whatever it will be its going to be a fantastic car. Look forward to seeing this post and the guesses. Escort or BRZ would my guess.

Rob sees into the mind of Subarman!

Wagon and Spec B are both four door saloon/estate type vehicles. We only need one of that type for ferrying grandchildren/parents around. We have the IQ for town. A nice fairly impractical weekend toy would fit the bill. I have done classics I'm afraid - had 11 years of running clubs/classic car shows and dealing with reliability issues and over 30 years owning the Sprint, so would not want another of those, especially as I can go and see my old one in Bognor.

A few clues in that post Keith........... So I reckon a modern soft top of some description and budget dependent... perhaps something like a BMW Z4, Boxster S ?
