[Closed] Best looking car ever

[img] [/img]
Thread closed my arse

[img] [/img]

I make no excuses for my old Escort fixation.

[img] [/img]

I could think of many more but my post would be too long...

Jaguar XK120 - photos taken by me at the Madresfield VSCC trials.

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

this is a US repatriation job and UK rebuild

For me the Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato, its a thing of beauty.

I'll be honest, I have respect for the man who has strength enough in his convictions to pit a Mk2 Escort against a Ferrari in the looks stakes. You're wrong in the head, but I admire your integrity 🙂

Oops, here it is

[img] [/img]

Hmm, the Ferrari 246 would be my first choice too.

Used to watch them race up Shelsley hill climb as a kid.

I know they got quite a bit of flack for not being a true Ferrari in some peoples eyes, but its such a pretty shape from all angles.

djglover - that's a close second

Citroen DS
[img] [/img]

Great posts so far

[img] [/img]

the MK2 reminds me of happy days, as well as being ****in ace. I've never owned a Ferrari, so no happy memories.

Citroen DS

Although that Aston Zagato is gorgeous

Hmmmm DS, forgot about that one, nice

my dad's Big Healey 3000 (BJ7 I think) comes in my top choice as well, although I dont have any good photos of it at the moment, only insurance ones. Its also had a few changes made to redturn it to original spec.

[img] [/img]

although these photos are of the BJ8 that we hired for his birthday a few years ago are a bit better. One at the bottom has my brothers spitfire behind it.

Bimbler - wrong thread fella 😉

E Type soft top - no contest

Beat me too it Woody. Im a huge Alfa fan but if I had to pick one car it would be the DS

E Type Jag.

No picure needed!

I have happy memories of the 2 golf GTIs I owned, doesn't mean they are be best looking car.

I hope you'd not post a picture of some fat munter you boffed at 6th form under worlds best looking women, just becasue you had a ruddy good time!

Dino - yep, Healey - definitely.
Plus

Another vote for the DS - although that Aston Zagato is stunning. The big healey ain't bad too. AC Cobra (289)? Ford GT40?

When i win the lottery i will own one.

There are many (including the Brera) however for simplicity, fluidity and poise the Barchetta (with steel wheels) wins hands down

[img] [/img]

djglover - no boffed munters here.
thanks for your comment, anyway.

failedengineer - if Im honest, the Gulf colours GT40 is my favourite looking car of all time, but Id hate to have to drive one! 🙂

right, i'm now confused as to which thread i'm reading! some decidedly suspect choices here..e-type for me.

A Dodge Charger? Surely not.

Not convinced about the Triumph Stag either.

Second Montylikesbeer, and to top it off it sounds absolutely fantastic when it's on teh move as well....

[img] [/img]

Lancia Fulvia HF

[img] [/img]

The people saying the e-type can only mean the rag top because the tin top is hideous.

I forgot the 50/60's Alfa Coupes

[img] [/img]

Without a shadow of doubt, for me it's this one - which appeared in the "other" thread 🙂
[img] [/img]

Brant - you think 5 piece seat stays are attractive! 🙂

and Hora stop posting those gimp pics in here. They most definately should be in the gopping thread.

^ fugly.

[IMG] [/IMG]

[IMG] [/IMG]

Some cracking (and some cracked) suggestions above, but I think the Lamborghini Miura does it for me. Anyone got a picture of one they can post?

Second the Healey 3000 but also the Ferrari Daytona 365. Better in the flesh than picture

[img] [/img]

Agree on the Audi Quattro.

[img] [/img]

The DADDY. Would LOVE one of these....

[img] [/img]

hora, I think you might have lost sight of the thread question. How could any Subaru qualify? 🙂

Is Hora not actually very well? Maybe he's been boxing already, and sustained brain-damage.

My faves are the Citroën, the Aston Martin, the Lancia, Ferrari and the Jag XK120. All stunningly beautiful cars.

I also love these:

[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

And check out this beauty!

[img] [/img]

Arent we mixing memories and experience with what should be a decision based purely on how a car looks?

I had a Mk1 Mexico which I thought was great and even though I like the look of them and they bring back memories its not up their with the worlds most beautiful cars.

Hmmm, forgot the Daytona. Also Maserati Ghibl, Lancia Beta Monte Carlo.

BMW M3 may have been an excellent car, as was the Quattro, but surely even their own mothers couldn't call them beautiful! Same goes for ANY Escort!

Not a big Merc fan, but look at that for a profile

[img] [/img]

[IMG] [/IMG]

But I'd love a Karmann Ghia

Or a MG B Roadster

Or a Metro 6R4

Or an original M3

Or a... *sigh* never going to happen!

[img] [/img]

Jaguar XJ13

Without a shadow of a doubt the Citroen DS imo. And not least the rather stunning if somewhat unpractical "decapotable" version :

[img] [/img]

It would still not look out of place amongst modern day cars - not bad for a car designed over fifty years ago 😯

[img] [/img]
/p>

wot?

🙂
Before I'd even opened the thread I'd got this image lined up
[img] [/img]

Also, as much as I find it wrong somehow, I see dozens of Astons every day and they still do it for me.
(I also have a guilty inexplicable soft spot for the Z3 M Coupe)

Alfa Romeo Tipo/Stradale 33:
[img] [/img]

A Pininfarina (Ferrari?) thing:
[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

Rudeboy - you win 🙂 (the Alfa, BTW)

Nah, still the Dino.

[img] [/img]
Eat my shorts

F40 LM or standard F40. If you've seen one on the road they're simply stunning.
[img] [/img]

Aston V8 Vantage
[img] [/img]

[img] [/img]

would love one of these

[img] [/img]

got one of these

[img] [/img]

Ah, forgot the Tin Snail...

Rong thread, bomberman...

Lambo Miura, although that Alfa Rudeboy posted is also quite tasty.

[img] [/img]

Some truly gash cars on this thread I'm afraid.

Alfa Romeo Montreal two votes so far, stunning and understated, and just beautifully put together for an Italian exotic.

Alfa Romeo Disco Volante, well and truly ripped off by Lyons for the e type.

road going stratos, all the snarling aggression and pace of a testarossa or countach, but with the agility and nimbleness of an x-19 or mr2

ISO grifo, muscla and grace, gorgeous car.designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, who designed the 250 gto, who claims the ISO was the improved gto, that ferrari wouldn't let him build.

original De Tomaso Pantera, before it copped for all the boy racer spoilers and body kits.

Oscar India AM v8, again before all the body kits and airdams ruined the lines completely.

69 Dodge charger

69 Mustang fastback

too many others depending on my mood

I have to agree with Brant I'm afraid. I've seen an Alfa SZ near me a couple of years ago. Not to eveyones taste but looks wild in real life, nothing else like it.

One I like is the Jaguar XJ220. Looks amazing in real life, lower and longer than in pictures. More aerospace in some ways.

[img] [/img]

Ferrari 250 P5 does it for me!

I rate the Detomaso Pantera pretty highly:

[img] [/img]

And the F1 is pretty nice in a restrained way:

[img] [/img]

As a kid I always wanted this, and still like it despite its outlandish nose:

[img] [/img]

And I quite like:

[img] [/img]

solamanda, I would have to agree about the F40...

Other cars that look amazing, when seen on the road are...

Porsche GT and Ferrari F50s, usually seen on the M40!

and a Gumpbert Apollo on Edenfield Bypass!

[img] [/img]

this thread is pointless without VW vans.

[IMG] [/IMG]

Always liked these, would buy if my numbers came up.
[img] [/img]

There are some pretty minging choices on here so far, i love Subarus but quite rightly how can one ever be considered a good looking car? De-Tomaso Pantera yes but could you have picked a worse picture lol Lamborghini Miura yes yes especially the roadster of which there is only one.

Taken two pages, slipping standards I say

[i]F40 LM or standard F40. If you've seen one on the road they're simply stunning.[/i]
I have no idea what a F40 LM or standard F40 is. But judging from that red monstrosity you've posted immediately after this statement, it can't be very nice. That red thing - ugly as sin. it's got all holes all over it too. Corrosion?

De-Tomaso Pantera yes but could you have picked a worse picture

Nope, dont like your version - far too plain and boring.

1st the gullwing merc.
2nd the 356 Porsche
