Question I'd like a Classic car !

I'm 18 and have a Delta of 1995 which I drive every day to go to school.
But I'd like an "old" car of the 70's or 80's for fun. A car enough reliable, not a well for the wallet, and cheap (not more than 1 500 €). A car like an Alfetta, or another "old" Italian, French, English, or German car for example.
What would you recommend to me ?
Thanks for your advices.

Get a Wartburg! Although post '66 models are boxy and ugly, they continued making them till the end of the eighties! It's a German masterpiece, with a water-cooled 2-stroke 3-cylinder engine (a popular layout for small cars in the 50's and early sixties) uhhh - it's unique to say the least, if they were more common over here I'd probably have one.
The Simca 1000 might be an interesting car to own too, as would a Skoda 1000MB, but I can't say too much about that cars reliability or parts availability.
Or you could always settle for a Kafer.

I'd recommend a Mini...not exactly sexy, but they are fun to drive, cheap, plentiful, and classic

Why not indeed !
But since I wrote this thread, I've change my mind and now I'm planning to change my curent Lancia Delta y an Alfa 156 or an Audi A4
And if I work enough, by a 406 Coupé...
