Not sure if this uploads but this would be my leftfield choice. What a motor! Otherwise I would stick to E Type/C Type.

That looks like a replica of Wolf Barnato's 1930 Bentley Speed-Six Gurney Nutting Sportsman saloon AKA the "Blue Train Special"
(although not the earlier Bentley H.J.Mulliner saloon that he actually raced against the Blue Train).

Some excellent considerations shown in this thread but, people, watch out for "I quite like . . . " comments, this is about the most beautiful car ever not "quite like"!

Anyway, no one has mentioned it so I have to. How about the wonderful AX201 also known as The Silver Ghost? She really is a pretty machine and still regularly driven at events. Often described as the world's most valuable motorcar due to her importance in establishing motoring as a reliable mode of transport.

Here she is with our car behind her at Windsor Castle.

It's not your glasses, that's the colour of the car.

Oh, Uhlenhaut...

Have you seen the video of Simon Kidston taking it (I think there were two actually, but anyway...) out on the road? Absolutely bloody magnificent. Like an Alfa P3 it just reeks of sophistication. There's something so aristocratic about a straight eight tuned for racing.

There were indeed two, both still held by Mercedes, so will never come on the market. Ten years ago D-B was offered $25 million for one. Imagine what its worth now.

Some others I like..these are in the Simeone collection in Philadelphia...

The DB4GT tops my list. Probably because of this very car, which was owned by a family friend from new.

I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Whilst looking purposeful with it's jagged edges, massive rear wing and spoilers and I could never describe that as beautiful.

I remember looking at it in my grandfathers garage when I was a little boy and thinking that it was the most beautiful car that Id ever seen. The owner, WB Fowler, had a 1.5 litre Aston Le Mans too.

For sale too: http://www.racecar.co.uk/carsinternational/roadsto...

Too hard to pick one but heres a couple of other options that haven't been mentioned yet.

Porsche 904

Which unfortunately isn't a Porsche, but a Beck 904 replica. Here's a real one:-

They say that imitation is the purest form of flattery, so what do the assembled think of this? I'd have one like a shot if I could afford it! Yet even as a copy, it is truly beautiful in its own right.

sorry, beautiful it ain't. On this forum it stands out like Pat Butcher in a room of Cindy Crawfords.

[GTRene]

for me that one off Alfa Diva by Sbarro fits in here perfect, although it needed a nice V8, the car is just porn on wheels.
