Best looking car of all time.

[tyred]

A face that only it's mother could love, I would never describe them as beautiful but love them and feel they must be one of the best engineered cars of all time. They were assembled at a plant in Waterford for a while and the army here even used them as staff cars and I would just love one of the vans in the bizarre orange and white colour scheme used in the Post and Telegraph vans of my childhood.

They had one small design flaw - it's tricky to flick cigarette ash out the window

This one makes me laugh, just thinking about it.

Permission to vomit sir?

 

[cuberider]

But which model? The hard top or the soft top?

For me it is the soft top, the hard top looked a bit too top heavy.

One of each please preferably in yellow.

I tried to find a picture of one one in Post & Telegraph orange and white but couldn't. But as an aside, I did read that the reason for painting their vehicles bright orange was because originally the P&T used surplus army vehicles which were of course camouflage green and when parked at the side of country roads, people kept crashing into them so they started to respray them in orange and white c1970 - proof that hi-vis works

Summat blue (my old motor)...

My present car, but a different colour (after a mucky roads 'recce' of a half-marathon route);

So much wrong here. :-)

1962 Corvette, the twin lamp front end with the facelift back end ready to be used in the '63 Stingray. You may close this thread now.

I came within half a day of buying a Sprint to move all the bits in to my drop head TR7 when I was 19 but fortunately the breakers yard screwed me over on the deal. I think the TR7 would have looked great on the Sprint alloys, but considering how much of a twitchy handful it was standard I'd have been so much twisted metal round a lamppost if I'd actually got the Sprint engine running in it! Replaced the engine with another standard one (head had gone) and sold it on using the money to buy a Mk1 Escort with a 3.5 Rover in it. Lovely car.

How about this (V8'ed) mk1 that appears at a local show?





Or these 2 legends first produced in 1948?




Not quite Lola is it??? (Coulsons own car in 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D')

With deptfordmormoset, it has to be the E-Type ....

Not quite, but I was so happy to see they'd picked the right one. I really like them in the gun metal grey they came in. Also, first year without the two tone on the scallops. There's very little I lust after, but they say you only ever own one Corvette and I know the one I'd get if I ever could...

Amongst modern cars it has to be the Jaguar F Type Coupe. A stunning vehicle! Although the Jaguar XE runs it a close second...

It's nice
The earlier XKRs were nice too, a more 'feminine'/feline appearance than the later ones
I guess I'm biased, as we had one for a few years

When it comes to Brit cars it has to be the Lotus Esprit

Modern cars don't cut it, all the crumple zones and air bags have made them look to bulbous and ungainly.

 

[Sustineo]

For me it's got to be this AC Cobra

Plus the Folder might go in the boot..Bonus!!!

Admit it Joe, you've always wanted to be James Bond haven't you?
