Barnet,
I also really like the shape of this, my first car--The Ford Anglia 123e. This is the Deluxe version with a 1198cc engine.

For me the E-Type is my all time favourite, but the Growler is a very close second.

beautiful car, shame it doesn't produce a very favourable google search result!
 
I like the estates, & would also be very happy with a Skoda Rapid S110

My Dad had the 4-door version. I was reminiscing about awhile ago and the search came up with a few photos of that. Can't help but agree it is a good looking car.
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.
I actually did it. Sprint engine in a TR7. Much better suited to the car than the standard engine

I agree with @stumpy66 View attachment 94262

Mine was this colour and R reg too. Should have kept it.
I had a K reg one. Had a Rover V8 in it a previous owner had dropped in - together with the bonnet bulge of a Capri to clear the carbs.
Saw it again a few years after I sold it. The new owner had swapped the V8 for a Triumph 2400 straight 6

It also sort of goes in my 'old Italian cars' category as it was done by one of the Italian design houses. Pinnifarina?
 
For me it's got to be this AC Cobra

Plus the Folder might go in the boot..Bonus!!!
Gorgeous, not quite a petite as the 289, but still highly desirable

I take it you've seen 'Gumball Rally'?, with the scene in the Los Angeles 'storm-drains'??
Best part is from about 1.45

It reminds me of the Morgan Life Car, but I think I'd prefer the offering from the Malverns

It depresses me to think about it but here are a few of the cars I owned and the prices sold for.
E Type £1,000
MK2 Jag £250
S Type jag £400
MGB and GT loads from £500 upwards
308 gt4 £7,000
308 gts £24500 sold 6 years ago, now worth £65,000++ I think. it was the one given away by CE on TGIF
Silver Cloud 1 £5,000
Fiat X/19 loads of them around £1500
P Reg Range Rover without power steering £2,000 maybe less
Fiat Strada Abarth 130 £5,000
Capri 3.0
VW camper vans £1,500 That brings pain and lots of it I sold loads of them
More fast Fords than I care to remember
That will do for now as I cannot see through the tears.

I was a busy car dealer from 1976 through to 1988 when I moved up north.

I just thought of some more, the Manta above being one which I sold to my brother. The Fiat 130 with I think the Masserati engine. If only I had had a crystal ball back then.
