Especially when I show public affection for these

Those later model 3.4ltr Mondial T models with the newer front end look very nice, much better IMHO to the earlier ones.

Venturi Atlantique

The Cizeta Moroder V16T. Think this is the last production car which had a V16 (or is it two V8s joined together?) Stacked pop up head lights look truly horrible.

Testarossas rock. End of.

Ill add Vectors to the list. Man I used to dream of a W8 as a teenybopper.

Due to the influence of the Testarossa, I also like 348s. I think they look better than the 355.
Good call on the 400 Paul, though they definately have a cult classic following these days.
Whilst we are on unloved Ferraris, 2 of the older, rarified, regal dignified beauties that have been relatively unloved:

330GT2+2 1964 original with twin headlamps
365GTC
365GT2+2

I like these, but were they unloved?

I suppose we could mention the BMW M1 here, it wasn't even loved BMW after it became an obsolete racer.



Also the Nissan R390, there was a road version that just slipped through the net and never got any attention, also as it never achieved what it was supposed to do (win Le-mans) it was never loved by Nissan.

Absolutely gorgeous car though.

More like "lazy google image users...."

Could also add the XJR 15? Nobody seems to remember it much or care for it. Beautiful none the less

I'll expect elle along in a minute with her only RHD Venturi 400GT...

Can't do photos at work, so if someone could find a pic I'd be grateful.

At the lesser end of the scale Alfa Montreal.

May I throw these two into the melting pot?

The Maserati Indy - far more beautiful than the Daytona




and the much maligned Lancia Stratos

ascari ecosse is a bit of a dog, but i seem to remember them doing ok in the british gt [F1 aside naturally]



agree on the 308gt4, always thought they'd make a cracking rally car. small, short, wheel at each corner

1. The Lamborghini Jalpa.



I love these cars, and in my dream garage it would sit alongside an 80's Aston Vantage. It's another one of those cars that I dream about, and I could look at all day long. In my eyes it is just perfect.

Not everyone agrees though, and it's not the most celebrated Lambo made. For that reason alone I thought it deserved a PH discussion

whats funny about that is looking in the classifieds there are two of these for sale, both of which are apparatly the last RHD car made!

What makes me really laugh is the fact they are both the same colour, both the same interior, both the same wheels, similar mileage and both are from the same price.

What are the odds of that?

Damn fine car. I would love one, also on for a Testarossa. But I don't think that is unloved. I thought everyone loved them?

Unloved? Not sure, possibly contemporarily (is that a word?), but now I'd say they are very popular little cars?
