Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

It seems like nice E30's are getting more expensive every time I look, what alternatives are there? Been looking at Merc w201, more auto than manual but still a few out there

What other options are there for 80s/90s box-pervs?

E30 touring. I made some posts a few pages back about old E30's. They're not as bad to keep on the road as people think. They ain't cheap, but if you're a bit handy you won't have to bend over and prepare for penetration.

I think you could probably buy four Merc 190 Cosworths for the price of an RS2.
I was thinking more Saab 900 classic, Volvo 240, Volvo 850 T5, W124, E28, Lancia Delta (non-Integrale), Mk2 Golf.

One day I'll have a 'Grale. First purchase on my glorious return to the UK will be and RS2. Still quicker to 30mph than a McLaren F1.
