Might be a bit more conventional but i have always absolutely loved the flatnose 911 - a real rare treat when you do see them on the road:

Saw a gold one driving through Tunbridge Wells last week, looked sweet
To anthropomorphise that expression is just sheer contentment

[BarnatosGhost]

any more for any more?

Bugatti EB110 is still one of my 5 car dream garage.
Quad turbos awwww yeeeaahh.

[Mattygooner]

Has the Lambo 400GT Monza been mentioned? always quite liked those.

Some great ones spotted at the Swiss PH Autobau meet

One of Rinspeed's finest



A Vector with other assorted Rinspeeds in the background



I forget what this was - there were lots of one-off Swiss cars



And one that I don't think was mentioned but is obviously unloved - there are 2 unregistered ones for sale in Switzerland

Alfa SZ Zagato

[Speed_Demon]

Bristol 411. Soooo under rated. 411CI big block V8.



EDIT: Woops

Aluminium body and disk brakes in 1972!

thats gotta be 7.2L, because 722ci is 11 litres or so (unless my maths is awful - im scaling up from a 350ci being 5.7l)

[VerySideways]

7.2L would be a 440ci, sounds about right

I've seen that one for sale before - there's something slightly odd about it having only done 400km, yet having had the stereo replaced with a non-standard one.


edit - Alfa RZ
How much? I'm off to Switzerland to sell mine...

Lovely car (I want a 410) but Aston had aluminium bodies and disc brakes in the '50s. And they always made their own engine.

Your joking right?. Perhaps they might be well engineered but they do look like a dogs dinner. I see a Triumph 2500 cabin a set of wheels from Halfords and the body panels scribed by a 10 year old.
Sorry dont mean to offend but is it a sort of eccentric thing that draws people to Bristol cars.

Possibly mentioned already.

One of my all-time favourite cars. The things I'd do for one of those are probably best not listed on a public forum (I'd find it VERY tough to choose between this or a Tuscan or a Cerbera in my dream driveway...)

Then again, there is no accounting for taste and there's no accounting for why I'd find a tarted up old Porsche so attractive..

I have allways liked it's replacement the 612 aswell, definitely a forgotten Ferrari IMO.





Sorry if it has been posted already.

Really, you think? You think it might just possibly be a streak of eccentricity than draws people to Bristol cars? In England?

You arent American or French are you?

No, proud to be English!. It's got to be eccentricity because that car is pig ugly, or as I said for people who appreciate function more than form.

[interloper]

Jaguar had disc brakes and ally bodies from the late Fifties (short lived XKSS) so that's nothing special!
