Beautiful, lesser known classics?

[montecristo]

Reading one of the other threads, TIGA84 posted a link to a Gordon Keeble. I'd never heard of them.

And I also don't know much about European classics.

What other beautiful, lesser known classics exist? No Ferraris, BMWs, Porsches, Lamborghinis etc...

Monteverdis - another svelt European missile born of a fall out with Enzo Ferrari.

What about the 'Swiftmobile'? beautiful motor. Very rare.

The De Tomaso Vallelunga, achingly pretty and quite quick even with a Ford 4 cylinder engine. Shame the chassis was a tad floppy...

I think you mentioned this on the same other thread, it's a great call.

I've always thought the Swallow Doretti was a very nice looking little car, there was one inside a barn on a farm my mum kept her horse at which I always loved. It always seems a newer design than mid 50s.

Quite an expensive esample here...

Lesser known, certainly. Beautiful, maybe. Amusingly named, yes.

I always thought (for onbvious reasons ) that Cougar convertibles were good looking things
