If you could bring a car back from Europe, what would it be (realistically)?

        I would want to bring back an older (up to '95) toyota hilux with a solid front axle and locking diffs. Perhaps a diesel

          Alpine A110. Although well and truly unreasonable.

            E34 m5 touring, while a nice dream car is pretty much unobtanium for reasonable price.

              A proper 325iS Sport, or a proper Motorsports Convertible with bubble leather interior
              Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

                Yeah, the Scirocco looks tempting but for my money I'd look for a late-model E21 Alpina B6. Simple, rugged, fun to drive and certainly nothing you'd see every day, but easy and affordable to maintain and service, and parts availability wouldn't be an issue.

                Meanwhile, props to LateFan: The uber-rare TR5 was almost certainly the sweetest car that ever came out of Coventry.

                  all good answers.

                  i'd like to add a '90s rally car, the impreza 22B:



                  because who among us does not love some box flares

                  if you have to stick with 80s, i haven't seen anyone mention audi sport quattro yet:

                  past:
                  1989 325is (learner shitbox)
                  1986 325e (turbo dorito)
                  1991 318ic (5-lug ITB)
                  1985 323i baur
                  current:
                  1995 M3 (suspension, 17x9/255-40, borla)

                    That audi sport Quattro is like unicorn poop, definitely not realistic

                      Most of these are completely unrealistic or ineligible. This is not. More plentiful in euro-land opposed to here.

                        I would go Japanese but there are too many awesome cars to choose from! But specifically, something they made a US version of so parts are easy to get, but has some kind of defining euro-spec package. I keep looking at that impreza wishing it was left hand drive
