Top 10 sports cars.
Discussion
But I guess some Chimp owner will be along soon to prove why 3000 classic sports car fans are wrong about No 3?

Very interesting, particularly the Lotus 7. The registration on the car is KAR 120C, this is the reg that was on the car from the 60's series 'The Prisoner' with Patrick McGoohan... I know this because I worked at Caterham Car Sales when I were a lad and they had the actual plate in the showroom... the car in the top ten thingy is a much later car... piccie of the original below with PM and the founder of Caterham Car Sales (Grahan Nearn) below..
Just to add, my first car was a 7 when I had just turned 17, best upbringing a kid could ask for, my mother had a spitfire and my dad had a TR5 at the time, but I paid for (and insured) the 7 out of my own money, think I was earning about fifty bob a week at the time
ETA: may not be a later car, just the original rebuilt. Wonder where it is now ?

I do believe you underestimate the integrity (not to mention the impeccable taste, good looks, intelligence and humour) of the average 'Chimp' owner http://cars.uk.msn.com/features/photos.aspx?cp-doc...
bet someone rigged the bloody voting

I thought that, seems others perhaps do not appreciate the result? Minor producer manufactures under 2.5K models and achieves 3rd! Perhaps I will just drive mine in future and not post anything of interest.
LOL - Oh well, f
k em! 3rd place as voted for by the people. nuff said 
Indeed

I think the regn. KAR120C is/was owned by Caterham and used on demonstrators etc.Just to add, my first car was a 7 when I had just turned 17, best upbringing a kid could ask for, my mother had a spitfire and my dad had a TR5 at the time, but I paid for (and insured) the 7 out of my own money, think I was earning about fifty bob a week at the time
