These are list of cars that could fit any number of people,go through absolutely anything and could run for years. 

Finding a G-wagon,Jaguar,Audi or even Ferrari on the road is a usual eye catcher these days.
Earlier,owning a Mercedes Benz 230 or 280 was of great value.The 80s-90s indeed had some remarkable machines that are missing the Nigerian roads in the present era.


1)Peugeot 504/Peugeot 505
Both were also produced and assembled in Nigeria by PAN,and were formally used as official cars.

Which of these cars was your dream car then?

Daewoo racer was my dream car smiley
My aunt boyfriend had one _he used to pick us from school with it, and that was what hurt me most about their break-up.

I think VW Santana and 190E should make the list.


The BMW e28 looks like it will be good for tuning.
