Classics on the Common last night, huge display of cars (circa 1500).

A fantastic evening, and it did reassure me that my two personal favourite looking Ferrari's are actually these:

1st



2nd


I don't really know what it is, I think I must be a wedge fan though hehe


There was some pretty good choice too; 308 GTB, 328, 348, 355, 360, 458 even an F40.

The 308/328 looked as good as ever I admit, although these days would rank below the Mondial and GT4. The 348 actually looked better than the 355 it was parked next too, although the 355 was ok too, but not in Spyder. The 360 was as hideous as ever. The 458 is certainly striking and modern, but maybe a little too much so for it's own good. The F40 looked bonkers great as always, but again not really a pretty car, just bonkers.

I love the F430. Quite like the F355. Wouldn't say no to a 308 (but that's watching Magnum PI when a kid). And so far rather fond of the 458s I've seen and even heard.

Always quite fancied the Mondial, must be a thing about loving the underdog. £20,000 gets you a nice one too, not a bad way into Ferrari ownership.

Always found the 308GT4 & Mondial to be a tad awkward in appearance. I reckon this is the best looking 'modern-ish' Ferrari. Taken at Silverstone Classic last weekend.

They're probably the worst looking Ferraris I've seen.

The 355 was the last pretty Ferrari without doubt.

Love the 308GTB, but does this count as modernish?



Edited to add ... great minds think alike. Even the same colour.

I agree a fantastic looking car but and this is a huge but I felt a little disappointed after driving onefrown

To be fair though these all look great

By "modern-ish" I'm going to draw a line in the sand, and assume that excludes anything pre-1970?

If so, I'll nominate one of these:



If not, a 328GTB
