Dream cars

I imagine emissions legislation may have something to do with it.

Bonkers rally car

The older and even better version

And this please, Porsche engined Kharman Ghia.

twinw4ll my sister lent me her micra when she was in singapore for 3 years, it was exactly the same as that one. I loved that wee car, it was great fun to drive.

Difficult to pin down ‘dream’ car in some ways – ever rarer old cars with style would do it for me.

C Type Jaguar – there’s one round our way
Saab 900 Turbo (original) – hell, even a Saab 96 would be quite nice for quirkiness
205 GTI or even T16
Alvis TF21 would be lovely – just an aura or serenity – our wedding car was one of these (in burgundy)

Lotus Elan for more country fun
Citroen DS

or even better the SM

or TA..

Also nice to see that aston martin’s still on the road.

This, terrifying and surprisingly driveable Volvo Amazon please.

going for a spin in that in a couple of weeks, providing he can repair the gearbox…

My brother’s Alfa GTA Stradale

I’ve always fancied a Lancia Aurelia

this, 8 litre viper engine dumoped in it, its still for sale…

or one of these

Just remembered…..De Tomaso Pantera…

Never saw one until I saw the Jordin Sparks video, Battlefield

Singer Porsche. As one review said, ‘a love song to a car.’

😀

Without a doubt my ultimate car purchase if I get those 6 numbers

just gone through this thread properly…

a bit of wee just came out….

stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yep, that ^^^ and the Volvo Amazon please.

The glorious Maserati Sebring.
Even better looking in the flesh.

Forgot about this little beauty thats been wiping all the veyrons records

It’s the Honda NSX for me. Total classic, and almost in the realm of sensible affordability. I’ve even got over my teenage disgust with what I thought was too big a back end.

I’d have to have the engine modified to an obscene degree of power though. Those VTEC engine sure do like a supercharger….

DB5

250 GTO

Shelby Cobra

F12 Berlinetta

Chevelle SS 454

E63 AMG

Camburg Kinetic Trophy Truck

Cummins Wrangler rock crawler

1000hp Hennessey Escallade grocery-getter

That’s all I can think of for now…
Oh, and a F-type of course 😉

That singer Porsche is my favorite. A 911 cosworth? Yes please!

Oh, god

I was fortunate enough to look after a few mates rally cars back in the ’70s
Mini 1293s built by Tony Blower
An ex Graham Elsmore Grp1 Mk1 Escort
Mk2 Mexico with Burton engine
Mk1 Mexico self build.
Hillman Imp and a GT6 track car. GT6 had triple Webbers and sounded awesome 😆

My choice would be a Mini…..

However a bright orange Lamborghini overtook us whilst riding along the banks of Ulswater in July, the sight and sound was jaw dropping, could hear it for miles barely getting out of 1st/2nd gear ❗

I don’t believe I forgot the P1!

Lets get some rightness on this thread.

Most beautiful car, ever.

OK? Good, glad we got that sorted.

Most fun Brum, brum.

Don’t agree? Aah, you’ve not driven one have you?

General Mayhem

From the best TV show to never be on TV, Roadkill.

Looks like there’s a bit of love for a couple of mates vehicles:

knew you’d be in here 😉

I’d like this…

but I’d settle for this…

Also, any of the below would be fab.

Mine’s one I sold a few years ago.

One of these.
In this colour.

A Tatra? I’ve always thought of them as big VW Beetles.

Yes exactly, Mr Porsche was looking over Mr Tatra’s shoulder when he designed what became the Beetle

Im gonna have nightmares tonight looking at that RS Orion….

The mk1 one RS Turbo (mk 3 escort) was actually quite cool … The mk2 was total wnk and an
Orion version 🙁 did the factory ever do something so cock.

RS1600i cabriolets were quite nice at time ….

Thank god for rust and twocing wiping out history’s little aberrations 🙂

Huh, that and overpaid and none too sober fishermen – round our way anyway.. ditches used to be lined with them come Sunday morning when the boats came in to land..

For reasons I won’t bore you with now, imo, the Camaro of the late 60s truely is a thing of beauty, as is the Miura, which as well as possibly being one of the top 3 most beautiful cars ever made by man, represents a design we could never see certified for our roads, ever again. A true design of its time.
Currently, I work in a design studio, having an input into the cars of tomorrow. Legislation means we will never again, see the likes of some of the cars that have been posted on this thread, Brussels has seen to that and as far as making cars safer, I have to agree that it’s a worthy direction to channel car design into, although it will forever consign some of the beautiful designs we see here, to the history books.
Thanks for all the pictures, great thread!
😀

Oops, not so sure about the Camaro in blue….
