Your dream car

[uphillstruggler]

When I was interested in cars, until about 22 years old, I had my dream car, a white mark 1 Astra GTE. Still have great memories of time in that car.

After that, I didn’t really bother. I think my next car was a G Reg montego which, pound for pound, was probably the best car I owned (told you I wasn’t interested in cars)

Well if I won the lottery I’d be getting one of these for the summer

Then a sports car,
Maybe an Aston

Or Ferrari

And an estate for the family run about

Think that’s all bases covered!

Still remember seeing one of these as a boy and thinking it not just the most beautiful car I'd ever seen but the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen. Wouldn't go that far now, but certainly no other car has come close in 50 years.

It's one of those rare cars, too....

That looks equally gorgeous from any angle.

I seem to recall that the car that was used in the recent James Bond films was a customer car in at Aston Martin for a full restoration, they asked the owner if he was interested in a full 007 makeover as it was the correct car, only downside was he had to let Daniel Craig use it in the film, the upside was it was free ! When work started they noticed chassis no ended in 007, coincidence or what, beautiful cars though.

So now he's got machine guns and rocket launchers and an ejector seat 'n that? Cool!

I can't answer for mustang, but a dream car doesn't have to be massively expensive. In fact, I think it's more interesting if the car is affordable, although I appreciate the premise of the thread is unlimited wealth.
I've posted my dream is a Messerschmidt, my second dream one is a Suzuki Carry van, truly, I just love their looks. I could afford one now, but sometimes dreams should be just that.
My milkman uses a Carry and I get pangs every time he delivers!

I have one of these in the yard. Make me an offer!

 

[NorthernDave]

Because I've always wanted an Aston Martin - a DBS:

I was down at Works Service (long story) - they started one up and it sounded like it was alive. And possibly quite evil.

Then, for summer cruisin' a 60's Pontiac GTO:

And, for general use, like when I need to transport the bike but still look good, a DS Familiale:

 

[derrick]

I am curious to know why that would be your dream car? These were brilliant when they were new, but with all the money in the world it wouldn’t be most folks choice.

Its got to be in front of a land rover.they should be in the night mare thread.

Not many American cars could be classed as good looking, but the GTO is a beaut.

A 1972 Ferrari Dino 246 GTS. Unfortunately I didn't have £5500 at the time. View attachment 458475

There was a Dino, roofless, like that, parked on the High Street, Thame today. Looked fantastic. Always a dream car of mine.

I like the looks, pert size, reliability, removable glass roof, fun, efficient (in the sense that it doesn't burn too much fuel for the amount of fun you can have). Not expensive to run, 7700rpm red line iirc and smooth at those revs too.

And I still have a thing for pop up lights .

A good friend of mine had one when new, it was fun to be in but I never drove it. A few years later I was attempting to be a car salesman at a VW dealership and we had one on the used car lot. It had been there a while and I managed to sell it to a nice young woman, I drove that one on the test drive and liked it a lot.
