Every year I frequent a number of differing motoring events and shows and see hundreds of lovely lovely motor cars. Yet somehow there are still a few I've never managed to catch a glimpse of in the flesh, namely:

-Lister Storm



-Gordon Keeble



These are two cars I'd very much love to see and be up close too.

What cars would you love to see but never have?

Really close up enough to spend a lot of time looking over every detail -

A very long, long, long list!

Starting writh Rick Gordon's Hummer (or any Dakar racer).



This the TriVette a 1974 design. A three wheeler that in 1980 the Department of Transportation tested and determined that the TriVette had a theoretical tip-over limit of 1.28 lateral "g", or a .5 lateral "g" safety margin over what the tires could deliver. This means the TriVette will slide long before it reaches the tip-over limit. It also meant the car actually out cornered many 4-wheeler sports cars like the Alfa Romeo Alfetta GT, BMW 530i, Fiat X1/9, Lotus Elite, and a Porsche 911S. Combined with the excellent braking of the vehicle orders were being placed for TriVettes with more powerful engines. That bigger engined car became the Vigillante ...



A 200+mph supercar! That Top Gear magazine was amazed by. Sadly both are out of production after there creator died. Still I would love to see either of these.

I'm yet to see an EB110 anywhere, that'd be nice:


Would very much like to see a diablo GT in the flesh, preferably moving:
