Russel Brookes used to call his last 400 the bendy bus because it had had so much weight taken out of it it used to flex when it jumped!

1920s - Bentley Speed 6

1930s - Alfa Romeo P3, Alfa Romeo 8c, Auto Union C Type

1950s - Alfa Romeo 158, Ferrari 256 Dino, Maserati 250 F, Jaguar D Type, Mercedes 300 SLR, Jaguar C Type.

1960s - Lotus 49, Ferrari P4, Ford GT40

Now we're moving into static displays (at least the others you can sort of enjoy driving in your limits - these later ones would just mock me.

1980s - McLaren MP4/4, Porsche 956

1990s - Ferrari 412/T2 (last V12 F1 Ferrari), William FW18 (for I am a British child of the mid 90s).

That's 12 too many isn't it? I need to get editing....give me a while

Must be these colour schemes as well. Ferrari has to be Red 27. The number all F1 Ferrari's should be (aside from no. 28....obv).

Depends really - are they to go on display to show off or are they to drive the living pants off?

If its driving:
93 Williams F1 car
Audi R18
2008 Mclaren F1
2009 Brawn F1
Mercedes CLK GTR

If its to put on display
Ford GT40
Porsche 959 (jacked up a few inches with skinny wheels and high profile tyres a la Dakar spec)
Mclaren MP4/4
Mercedes CLK GTR
Audi R18

I fear I may be a boring, unimaginative person.
