It's easy to put together a top ten of stereotypical Ferraris, Lamborghins etc, but what's your 'obscure' top ten? Please note, this can contain mainstream manufacturers just not the usual suspects..

For me...

Tucker 48
Tatra T87
Tatra T603
Jensen CV8
Maserati 5000gt
Facel Vega HK500
Ferrari 166 Berlinetta
Cord 812 Phaeton
Cadillac v16 Hartmann Cabriolet
Figoni et Falaschi Delahaye 165

In my obscure top 10 would definitely be some early turbo oddballs from Renault.

Fuego Turbo for certain
Perhaps an 18 Turbo



Add in a Suburu SVX



Plus a 127 Sport but must be the Orange one



Can't miss of the 6 wheeler I was fascinated by in 1977

Another fine example, although you need some Cojones to own one in France, let alone UK. I believe they were built in RHD although I'd be surprised if more than a dozen RHD cars were sold.

Great suggestion, so oddball. Only seen one once and it was in period outside a pub in Leadenhall Market.

Can't help thinking an Isuzu Piazza would fit in well with your selection too!
