For me it's the Alfa, hiding in the background, I recall the first time I saw one in the metal and I swore that I would one day have the pleasure of ownership. That day awaits.

How 'prototype' are we allowed to be?

For instance, the Oldmobile Incas, one of Guigiaro's wedges:


With it's 'aircraft' style steering joystick


I owned one of his Isuzu Piazzas form the same era, that added a proper wheel, but retained the control binnacles:


So lets add the Piazza (Impulse in US):

Grifo man, it's an ISO Grifo!
Surely we all know of this, because we all had the turquoise Matchbox one as kids? I spent ages expecting to see one when I was 7!

I spotted these two Fiat Ghia coupe's at Le Mans Classic earlier in the year, never seen one before but though they were lovely:-



Even nicer are their older, bugger brothers, the Fiat 8V Ghia Supersonic. I've only seen the rebodied Cobra version, but breath-taking nonetheless:-



here is a picture I took of the Willment Ghia Cobra a few years ago:-

I'd blame auto-correct but I'm losing it. Yes, the turquoise one for our younger viewers, mine was the older one when the moulds were still new:
