Whilst watching Top Gear the other night I set my FB status about the E Type being the Sleekest, sexiest car ever built.
My cousin responded saying it wouldn't make his top 5. I then asked him what his top 5 were and he struggled to choose. So it got me thinking about my top 5 cars in terms of looks and I want one factor. I Can't narrow it down enough.

I do know that somewhere in there below the E Type would be the Aston DB5 and Volante.

So what would your top 5 be?

Looks and just pure "I want one"

This top 5 can be guilty pleasures etc... Maybe not the best driving cars but ones that you would just kill to own

I agree about the E Type. It's a beautiful car but not in my top 5.

I'll think of a lot more and delete from the list and add to it but off the top of my head and in no particular order...

Aston Martin DB5
Ferrari 355
Lancia Fulvia
Lancia Stratos
Aston Martin V8 Vantage

  • Jaguar XK120
  • Lamborghini Miura
  • Bentley 3 litre
  • Jaguar E-type
  • TVR Griffith

Not my top 5 favourite cars though.

Well the case of pure want, you can keep your e-type, id rather the better looking Jap alternative:

  • White Toyota 2000GT
  • Black on Black Reventon
  • Black on Black Enzo with red calipers
  • Unknown Color Veyron
  • Grey LP640 Roadster with Orange interior & Calipers
Not that Iv thought about it much hehe

Veyron maybe?

Its surprisingly hard to think of 5 dream cars. I can think of 5 cars I'd own if I were a millionaire, but I'd have to be a billionaire to afford those which is much harder to contemplate.

For me it'd probably vary though. Best looking doesn't automatically mean greatest want.

In terms of looks these maybe:

-1977 Pontiac Trans Am SE in black with gold snowflake alloys
-AC 3000ME
-Lister Storm
-1983 Ford Bronco on 36" tyres with a 5" lift
-1995 Aston Martin Vantage Twin Supercharged V8



Pure want:

-Gordon Keeble
-Corvette C4 L98 4+3
-1977 Pontiac Trans Am SE
-2011 Mustang GT 5.0
-Hillman Imp
