Honda NSX, Honda S2000, Honda Quint Integra Type R (NOT the Type S
sold with Type R badges in USA), Nissan Skyline GT-R, Eunos MX-5
(sold in USA as Mazda Miata), first-generation RX-7, Mitsubishi
Lancer Evo, Subaru impreza WRX STi Type RA, Vauxhall (Opel) Carlton
...VW Transporter (Split, Bays & Vanagons). Can't think offhand of
any other Eurocars which will be collectable or restored ( Ford?
Peugeot/Citroen? Renault? Volvo? Saab? Jaguar? Nah!).
