    The year is 1983 and its time to give back your 1979 Ford Cortina in brown with a vinyl roof. What would you replace it with. You could have an Opel Ascona, a Talbot Solara , the last of the Morris Itals or even one of the new "space age" Ford Sierras. Doesnt have to be one of the above just pick what ever you would've gone for with a picture :)

    Toyota Landcruiser - I'm actually going to look into importing one of these in a few years.

    By the way any particular reason for 1983?

    They look similar to the alloys that were on the Fiat Ritmos.... Just thinking I might have chosen a Fiat. Great car if somebody else is paying the repair bills :pac:

    The 'big bumper' Mk2 Golf did not come out until at least the late eighties if I'm not mistaken.

    The big bumper is generally known as 90 spec. (big bumpers, BBS alloys and a digital fuel injection rather than the K-Jet) But I've seen a few late 89's with it
