Best Modern Classic Car

[RosscoPCole]

I would like to nominate Mechatronik M-SL

Amazing engineering and looks standard from the outside and everything is integrated so well in the cockpit.
Their M-Coupe is just as stunning.

The SL is on my dream garage list.

Not sure I agree, I find the Porsche line just too unimaginiative and inspired to be capable of being a classic.

Show us the cars they look similar to then.

everything else in their range. ever.

Ahhhh, Ok. In that case I'd have a Singer 911 too.

Iconic means many different things to different people and budgets are relevant but on a "realistic" budget, my candidates would be:-

Mercedes W124 E500
E39 M5
Lotus Carlton
Audi Quattro
Lancia Integrale

I like the combination of 4 door useability mated to supercar performance for its day but probably just my genarational kind of thing.

Wish I could do pictures.....

I'd agree with those other than the E500? I hate it.

You may not like it but a lot of people do. The 500E/E500's already command a decent premium for tidy cars.
Of that lot I can't see the E39 M5 gaining much value. They may be great cars, but they lack the specialness of early M5's and were sold in too big numbers so the market will remain flooded with them. I would replace it with the Audi RS2 in that lot.

A classic with modern innards would be my ideal daily driver.
Bristol Series 6

Bader Racing Karmann Ghia 993 RS

Less sporting but just as cool, JE Engineering Zulu

But more sensibly I would like a MkII Golf with a modern TDi running gear, air conditioning, etc.
