In a word: No!

When it comes to the prettiest car ever that's not Italian, nice looking as the Scirocco is, sorry but it wouldn't even be in the running.

Well, to be fair, it would be in the running because it's received a nomination.

But would probably trip over at the start line

Not a classic, but I wonder when was the last time you saw a VW Phaeton? I saw one today, but to keep in tune with the thread I also saw again a red Honda S800 coupé.

Another Traction Avant that currently lives along the street here in Oslo. I've tried really hard to get a proper profile shots of it but there is always cars on both sides blocking it in.

I saw one of the few Aston Martin Shooting Brake DB6s in Holland Park today.

Saw this in Farnborough yesterday, didn't like the wheels though

[Iva Barchetta]

Agree,look totally wrong on such an old Landie...a S1 ????

[Octoposse]

Saw this on a damp December morning and suddenly felt far more cheerful . . .

That's one of my classic spotting holy grails, along with the 288 GTO. Never seen one not in an 'official' photo.

Didn't want to get too close. There was someone sitting in it and I was worried that my drool would mess up the paintwork...

Opposite for me, never seen a 959 "in the wild" but did see a virtually new 288 parked up in Bayswater back in the 80's, before I was into cars, and only know because I remember the friend I was with telling me.

I bloody love 'tinas.

My first car was a Cardinal Red Mk V estate, 1.6L

Sadly, that one rotted away while I drove it. Scuttle was full of holes, and when it rained my feet got wet, to the point where I drilled holes in the footwell to let the water out. With all it's faults (and there were many) I was still sad to say goodbye to it after a year.

Was it a Radford or a FLM?

I followed this into LHR Terminal 5 the same afternoon. Looked great coming through the M25 traffic.

Seen on the outskirts of Crewe this afternoon.

Cleverly cropped to save our eyes from seeing the grotesque monstrosity that is a Nissan Figaro.
