What car did you want to own from a pack of top trumps.
Discussion
Mine was a De Tomaso Pantera, If i remember 0-60 was 4.7 top speed 170mph capacity 4795 (complete guess was a long time ago) and cylinders V8 what a gorgeous car!!!!!!! im sure the car in the picture was orange but i might be wrong,
Oh i did have the Lambourghini Countach poster in white on my wall but the De Tomaso was always my favourite.

Mine was the Countach.
I reckon it might have been a hand-me-down pack of Top Trumps with a red Countach LP400 in that made me mad about cars from ever since I can remember!
The Pantera, also a favourite of mine, in my first pack had the later 5763cc engine and top speed of 280kmh!
The Countach is still the car I want more than any other.

Dix,
The Pantera was only ever fitted with the 5.8L (351ci) Ford Cleveland until Ford run out of them in the late 80's, early ninety's with the last cars using the lesser powered Ford 351ci Windsor.
Originally designed to power Nascar cars they are very strong.
After nearly 30 years Todd Buttermore in the US has decided to cast brand new, all ali Cleveland blocks:

I have a nearly completed 408ci Cleveland engine ready for my DT.

In the 70s my friend had a brand new De Tomaso Pantera...among a string of exotics he owned (racing driver).
BUT I've never forgotten reading a book on the world's fastest cars in the college library when I was about 17, and seeing a car there that was listed as doing 175mph !
It was shown as a 'TVR Trident'.
From that moment I wanted a TVR...of ANY sort.
Now funnily enough, here is a pic I took of one of the rarest cars on the planet, a TRIDENT, with my red 390SE S2 in the background.

Bora...another one of my friend's string of exotica.
Awesome back in the 70s.
I also remember being awestruck by an Iso Grifo that thundered past me in London in 1971. The sound !
