There is one buzzing round York, and I have to say it looks very understated, a bit of a 'sleeper'. I quite like it as it's not pretentious and does look nice in white unlike a lot of other cars around.(A lot nicer when you see one in the flesh as it were, I was actually thinking of buying one before I got my 'ti').

That's the one. OK I know it isn't the best looking  car of all time but I still like it. It's the simplicity of the design that I like. It's not fussy and pretentious like some many other cars.

Doive, I don't want to drive a pretty car. I like my women pretty and my cars to look aggresive and purposeful.

It's still better than a Nissan Micra.....

The problem for me is that those cars aren't 'styled' as they were 30 or 40 years ago. On cars like the Triumph 2500 mk1 or mk2 you could see the overall styling package, for me still one of the best looking saloons of all time. The SD1 was such a cohesive car in it's day, managing to look like italian supercars (ok, if you had a few whiskies and squinted) and also be an executive car. Superb styling.

Not a big fan of cars like the Skyline or the Impreza, they are all designed to be as mean and purposeful as possible. I mean, if a girl walked up to you in a pub frowning and snarling I'm guessing you wouldn't descibe her as beautiful?! Cars like the Miura all have flowing organic lines, and the E-type is simply stunning - designs like that will always be described as beautiful.

I stand by the HSR though

I like the Nissan skyline, despite what people in the motoring press say about jap styling. The best was the R33, and it looked better as the GTS without all the body kit.

Granted a very serious chariot , but hardly a styling masterpiece. Vulgar ,i think thats the word i'm looking for, a bit like the people who usually drive them. Any one for some branded sportswear and some 9 carat tom?

'71 Plymouth hemi cuda in plum crazy or a 288 GTO  decisions ,decisions. I'll go for the 'cuda as a wild card.

 

Ferrari 308/328GTB .... erm does that count as two choices?

For me it has to be the E-Type jag!! I could drool for days at a time

What a car!!

Gone in 60 seconds is the one, remembered it after I posted, that was as well as watching fast & furious, bullitt and many more, not NC in F&F. Had a Supra for a while, bro in law wanted it for F&F project car.
