Inspired by the super car thread and seeing as some think a classic car is the same as a supercar. 🙄
And I wanted to post a couple of pictures of these.

A Beetle?
There's a couple for me which I would like and have always liked since I was young. These being the Merc 300SL and the e-type convertible.
Escort Mark I

300SE Fintail Saloon
SEriously, there are many, there spring to mind:
The 365 from Miami Vice.
LP400 unspoilered
Montreal
203 soft top
DS
Khamsin
P1800
3.0CSL
Stratos
But the winner is the early 911 or 912.

Speedster is very very nice, E type anyone?
Passed up on a 912 about 20 years ago.
Passed up on a Lotus Europa too as I didn't have a workshop to restore.
😥
Another Beetle.

And maybe a LITTLE weirdly, I've always LOVED the way this looked.

Great fun.

Imps are cool.
Not sure about the red no. 2

midlife, my dad had a 3000 in that colour when I was a nipper. He sold it to get a landrover and a new roof on the barn. Needs must!
30 years later he got this one:

STR beat me to it with a Stingray, but no harm in a red one either... 🙂

And the original Ford GT...this will be a Lottery purchase:

Even at the wrong angle it is still beautiful
My Dad has four of these in various stages of delapidation / restoration..... The Triumph Razor Edge. Everything above the chassis is made of wood inside - the rot kills most of them 🙁

Facel Vega HK500, always reminds me of a Rover P5 (which I also love) on steroids

You are all wrong!

Almost bought a Facel Vega in 1978. It was only £1500! About a years salary for me then. That and the weeds growing up through the floor plan didn't put me off. It was the insurance. Could only get quote in blocks of three months and it amounted to £1400 a year for third party!!!!

Most beautiful classic car?
Pick a Delahaye. Any Delahaye. They're all gorgeous. I picked this one because it looks like it has a great big bushy moustache:

SS100. Nice.
Blower Bentley ftw, though.
Kato is correct. Dino 246.
This made my nerves tingle, mine had Carlos Sainz written on the side, perfect car for it's time IMO.

Then who didn't own one of these classics??

Epitomy of a classic and my first company car.

Classic, but it has to be the in dashboard gear change version

A Dino 246 drove past me on my commute this morning, I nearly fell off my bike whilst watching it burble past...:-)
I can't believe no-one's mentioned the Miura yet!
[img] 
[/img]
Citroen DS. I know some people hate them though.
[img]

Not beautiful as such, but I've always loved these:
[img] 
[/img]
But those Lancias are pant-wettingly gorgeous.
beanum - I reckon the Miura looks better than the Dino.....
Still the Lancia Stratos in my humble opinion!
