I don't care what a supercar is, or whether an F40 is 'better' than a Countach, but there have been some pretty rad and bonkers cars over the years so lets see of the ones that might have been forgotten. I'll start with the Lancia Stratos, probably one of the few cars that the designers must have put a lot of thought on how it looked from above, for people in helicopters.....or birds?

My parents had the 'normal' 4 wheel CX Safari which I loved, with the suspension that raised up and down, and funky rotating speedo, but this was next level ha ha:

Quite a way before 1990, but I'd give your right arm for one of these:

Okay, Simone said Lotus Carlton which is 1990, so I’m having NSX which came out 90 too.
Loving that CX sixer, being of a big family we had a few big cars as a kid, Cresta, Cambridge, Zodiac, Victor, Saab 95, Pug 504 Family and the fantastic CX Familiale.
There were quite a few non supercars with great styling by Bertone, Zagato, Giugiaro and the like through the sixties and seventies, but not many left as they were cheap at the time and not thought of as worth saving.

Sorry, i’m In Berlin at the moment. Most East Berliners couldn’t afford anything better
I remember looking for a Fiat X1/9
Getting one within my budget that was not FULL of rust proved impossible.
Desperately wanted one of these. Triumph TR7 convertible.... Preferably with a V8 conversion.
I think they still look great now.

Not to everyone's taste but I'd love a series 1 RS turbo.
That little Alfa Junior looks like a right hoot. I loved the Fiat X19 and TR7 when I was a kid. On a similar note, the Porsche 916 (never heard of them when I was younger but I think they look pretty rad too):

And yeah, the Tickford Capri as mentioned above. Almost posted a pic of one on the supercar thread but feared I might get shot 😀 Awesome looking though 🙂
Just remembered this, not so much awesome, but weirdly bonkers. I knew a guy with one in the 90s, and a wife with full Dolly Parton enhancements. Volvo 262C, think he had a Bang and Olufsen telly too.

That Lancia Stratos does, indeed, look incredible from above!! 🙂
Loved these when I was a kid. Might be doing them a terrible injustice but I'm imagining them being built from bits of wood and Austin Ambassador parts....

In South Africa they sold the Capri with the 302ci 5.0l Mustang V8.
Broom! 😀

Also, my mum had a Fiat X19 🙂
Buick Grand National GNX. Kinda the American equivalent of a Sierra Cosworth, ugly and crude, but seriously quick in a straight line.

Anyone who doesn't like these doesn't like cars, even a slow one is a hoot to thrash:

Am I allowed a Singer? Ah, go on, they're based on pre 90's cars...
I can't handle much more excitement right now, I'll be back later.
One of the best styled cars of all time...[img]

Add fuel injection & IRS, pretty advanced for 1963.
Honda NSX would be my choice, will hopefully own one at some point but it's starting to look more and more unlikely! 🙁
I had one of these when I turned 18 and it was an amazing fun little car, shame it broke down every 2 weeks!
