Trouble is that is a couple of times a month at best and in the depths of winter not at all, so what about the rest of the time?

The cars I would like to see made (or made again)!

Like just about every other car enthusiast, no matter how many different models the manufacturers make there is always other models of versions I would like them to make. Here I present the cars I would like some of my favourite manufacturers to be producing.
