My favourite CLASSIC CAR IS.........................

[topscout]

BMW 3.0 CSL 1971-74 model, UK SPEC.

Awesome looking car, long distance driving is pure bliss, engine does not miss a heart beat. this is my ideal summer car. looks of a Angel and drives like a bat out of hell

[downthepub]

There are so many to have a favourite. My favourite exists somewhere between an Ford RS200, Jaguar E-type, Alfa Romeo Montreal, Citroen DS, Citroen SM, Ford Sierra RS Cosworth 3dr, Aston Martin Vantage (1980s style), Aston Martin DBS and the CSL BMW (as well as my own classic BMW). Just too many to choose from[1].

I realise that the jumpered whiskery-types many not approved of my selection of predominantly 1970s and 1980s machinery, but hey ho!

[a8hex]

hard to choose just 1.
C?, D? (then which one), XKSS, Blower?

[singlecoil]

Original Aston Martin DBS 6 cylinder Vantage, before it developed the bulges and spoilers. There's an excellent example in the Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service.

If the question had been 'what's your fantasy 10 car garage' - would take ages to ponder, but just one?

Easy.

This is way too difficult and probably changes like the wind...

I'll have a go though, in no particular order, but all I'd like to own on looks alone!

My 911 3.2 Carrera
924 Carrera
Triumph GT6 / Or spitfire with GT6 bonnet/engine
Opel GT
De Tomaso Pantera (Black or Red)
914
that Alfa that someone posted a pic of the other day (kind of Ferrari 250 shape)
GT40
Cobra
MkI Escort Van
Karman Ghia

God help my annual running costs if I ever win the lottery.

[Justayellowbadge]

I'm going to have to say 250 GTO.

Although I feel a tad gulity. It's akin to bringing the US pacific fleet to a knife fight, such is its overwhelming superiority.

[Ocarru]

Lamborghini Espada. The most stylish way to transport 4 people imho and always makes me go 'wow' when I see one. I could draw up a great long list, but this is definitely my favourite.

[BAN430G]

1969 lwb Porsche 912 - without a doubt

[bmwcsl]

Is that the one with two missing cylinders?

[AndrewW-G]

250 GT Lusso, going on a journey in one tickles the senses in almost every way possible

How about compromising on the sublime 330 LMB?

Tell you what, you pay for it and I'll pay for the petrol and servicing

For me one of the best things about a Lusso is how civilised they are to use on the road, making it a partner friendly and enjoyable car to tour in .............until you squish pedal to carpet, then its transformed into a car that’s almost as good as a SWB (on the road at least) and I suppose the fact that a Lusso is almost financially attainable, does add something to the attraction.

Anybody know how much you can get for a kidney these days?
