When I lived in Bavaria, there was a bloke in the town I lived in who owned a Delta Integrale in white with the Martini livery, white wheels, racing seats, the lot. I was mega jealous.

Too many dream cars to choose one...

Delta Integrale
Murcielago
Vanquish
Mustang
One of the silly Fiat 500s
RS6 avant
Original GT40
Some kind of large motor home towing a Brabus Smart car.

And just cos I've got an Ibiza, I'd love to get an Ibiza Cupra TDi (same version as mine) and see how far I could take it in terms of engine mods and suspension for mucking about on track days. There was a bloke on Seatcupra.net who had his up to 330 bhp.

I can't find the pic of it but there is a pre facelift Corolla TTE Compressor. It's the only one in the world and although not dream by anyone else's standard, given my history with T Sports it is to me.

I've been getting the serious Group B horn of late.

I keep driving past an RS200 looking very forlorn and being consumed by foliage. It's probably just a replica, but I still want to go and save it...

I went looking for a used Integrale when they were current. I always loved the look of Lancia Deltas, and although I only had a couple of short test rides, I remember them being fantastic - on a bumpy lane it felt like the wheels extended down and kept in contact with the road.

I also had a ride (passenger) in a Stratos replica - I can't remember much about that - I think it was fairly fast, noisy, and cramped.

However, my Land Rover Defender seems to be my 'dream car'. I don't really want for anything else - it would just be nice if they didn't corrode.

Audi RS6. Perfect do it all car. Big days out in the lakes, cheeky spin after work or annual trip to the Alps. It does the lot. Faster than a Ferrari but can carry four adults in comfort. Looks superb with my Santa Cruz Bronson on the roof. Real head turner.

NSR500 with screamer engine (and a team of HRC mechanic's to keep it running when I clog the plugs not having the bottle to ride it properly)

....and a DeLorean

and the 6 wheel drive Merc for going shopping and really fouling up the local school run (yes the white van man is very very angry as you have just stopped on a zebra crossing to let your little darling out!)

The Panoz was always crazily loud at Lemans.

My dream car would be 4 light Citroen Dyane with an 1100 BMW flat twin in it! Or a Type 35 Bugatti.

Beautiful car till I smashed the life out of it.

I am going with a lamboghini muira
I have wanted one for as long as I can remember.

As a rule of thumb I would say never drive your dream (car).
As you may have guessed, I have an exception 😉

It may be stunning, but if you have driven one in the wet at around (or a touch over) the speed limit on the tyres they used to have then you will understand why dream cars are not the cars you once dreamed of!

I've always fancied a 7 ever since I was a slack jawed six year old watching a load of blokes rock up at Oulton Park in them. Not sure I'd fit in one though.

I was going to add a Porsche 917 to my post.
But I thought we were talking road cars.

I'd happily take a 911 Carrera S or a Cayman GTS and while probably not as technically good as those two, it'd probably have to be on of these in my garage

Two pages and not a single F1. The pedal assembly is more beautiful than some of the cars posted here.

This is a sad reflection of the cheesy late 70's, early 80's when I was at most impressionable.

It might not beautiful but when I was about 8 years old this was the dream. I'd still have one..

In the same vein this was always awesome..

Luckily for my fledgling tastes my brother had one of these, which would be the first thing I get if the lottery lands in my lap.

They say never drive your dream.

Always liked the F40, so when I was offered a passenger run in one I jumped at the chance. Even better when I was offered to actually drive it! Did it match my expectations? Perfectly. Raw but smooth in every way, especially once you pass a ton 😀

Was offered a 355 at silly money during a lull in prices way back, had the cash available but for some reason I declined. Regretted that ever since.

Current wish list is a Nissan R390 or an early NSX.

Yes, yes they were 😯 sadly good videos are few are far between

R390s were very cool to see race too (in between melting their oil coolers) but just looked a bit like.....well..... a Nissan in comparison 😉

I know its not a "dream" car but I think there are many more aesthetically interesting choices that aren't fast or supercars:

In South Africa you can still find rust free Ford Cortina pick ups with Essex 3litre V6 motors in, which sound beautiful.
Epic drift cars before drifting was invented.
Dodgy '80 brakes mean you need to plan your stops.
Moustache optional.

Though, yes, an R6 estate would do fine. And be faster and better.

It was always a Sierra Sapphire Cosworth 4x4 but recently its a Focus RS as that's more achievable due to them being newer.

A Guy who's a Mate of a Mate has Ferraris, Bentleys etc and they do nothing for Me, I'm a Chav at heart 😳 😉
