very hard as I could easily pick 5 f1 cars or 5 sportscars but I had to cover all bases so....

Lotus 11 and Lotus 49 - either should get me into pretty much every historic event going, Monaco, Nurburgring oldtimer, Goodwood, Silverstone....

Bugatti T35 - For the VSCC stuff...

Porsche 962 - For the Group C revival series and a Le Mans classic entry...

Ferari 250TdF - I realised I would need something road legal for historic rallies, enduros, Tour Brittania, Panamericana etc

I'm picking ones that I can relate to from my time watching motorsport.
1. Vauxhall Cavalier chassis 022 http://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehic...
2. The 2009 BTCC-winning BMW 320Si, mainly because I've sat in it and would love to drive it!
3. Aston Martin DBR9. The looks, the noise, the heritage.
4. Aston Martin Lola DBR 1-2. As number 3.
5. Volvo 850 BTCC. I'll always remember going to my first BTCC race in 1994 and the howling 5-cylinder engine ringing through my ears.

Alfa Romeo 33TT12 - funny-looking car with some of the funniest drivers driving it.
Lancia Delta HF Integrale - ugly but purposeful.
Jordan 191 - may not have been the fastest, but it's the most beautiful F1 car I've seen.
Ferrari 312 T2 - when I close my eyes, *this* is the F1 car I see.
and the Glickenhaus Ferrari P4/5 Competizione - lust, greed, covetousness, all the sins in a four-wheel package.

I opted for a Porsche 935 instead of the Tyrrell, but other wise that's my list - thankyou for saving me the trouble of looking for photos...

-Aston Martin DB4 Zagato
-Jaguar D-type
-Toleman-Hart TG185
-Mazda RX-3 (because of the insane rotary engine soundtrack)

I'm sure we did this quite recently

I'm also sure my selection is different, but I cant recall 100%

Porsche 935/78 Moby Dick
Porsche 908/3
Porsche 917k (Salzburg blue colourscheme)
Lotus 72 (1973 spec)
Lotus 79 (Ronnie's)

I could have listed about 50 Porsches let alone F1 cars!
