Hi everyone,
I'll be working in Munich for 6-months next year. I thought this would be a great opportunity to purchase a fun or unique car that isn't available in the states!

My requirements are:
1) Must be 1988 or older (due to US import laws)
2) Must be a manual
3) Must be sporty (no Yugos or weird sub-sub-subcompacts)
4) must be LHD (None of that RHD mess, unless you can make a very convincing argument for one :D)

My plan would be to drive it around in Europe as much as I can, maybe a few weekend trips here and there and ship it back when I leave.

I hope I haven't left anything out. I'm open for suggestions. Thanks in advance!
 
1970 BMW 3.0csi manual

It's available in the states but it's 20k here. Perhaps cheaper there?

BMW e30 wagon?
Mercedes w124 diesel wagon manual (maybe hard to find)
