i'd have the manta definately, when i was growing up the manta was king of the rally circuit - Russel Brookes was the man if i remember rightly.

My sister had one, it was a white GT/E and i loved it.

For here I'd have to say the Manta

If I had to drive it where the pictures cars are actually shown, probably the Porche....it gets hot out there.
Mind you. it's very probably cheaper to just get taxi's out there than have to pay for your own car

I'm kinda with you on this Mark, I would say the Porsche as it would be a fun drive, but the Manta wins it for being cool.

Neither of the other two pieces of crap though thats for sure!

I loved the Manta and even had a GTE pic on my wall as a teenager , but then i drove one and it was sh*te, really dissapointed with it

I'd have the Jag provided i could afford to fuel it.

Manta for the looks and Uber coolness but as Rich says, they do drive like dogs, the Porsche would probably be the one out of those four.

Where are the Escorts?

Nice car Mike .. Yes shoulda said, Beetles are the coolest of cool but they gotta be slammed. Don't even matter if it's got a big engine, who needs to go fast when it looks that cool
