This is lovely. Not only a graceful design but an interesting engine too. I wonder how much they are now?

I'm not generally a fan of Japanese cars, but can see there have been some great cars from Japan, offering far more than reliability and swish styling. The Honda S600, Toyota 2000GT, Mazda Cosmo and RX7 are all amongst my favourite cars. I remember going to watch a race at Oulton Park in the mid 1980s and seeing several Honda S800s racing there. They were beautiful things.

The 2000gt is a thing of beauty.





The most iconic for me and the one I eventually bought.

Hako Skyline, 260Z both running big cards and making lots of beautiful sucking noises.
AE86

R32 GTR and NSX Type R as a more modern classic, along with 22b Impreza and Evo 6 Makinen as future classics.

Mmmm, rivet-on arches and bronze alloys do it for me cloud9

My current MR2:





And my previous Supra (big single, big BHP, big bills most months!)




My attention is moving towards newer metal these days, but if I had money to burn I'd love to build an old fastback Celica with a 1UZ V8 in it, something like this (not mine, sadly!)
