Hi there

I really love the 'hunchback' style these two rare beauties

a) Crossley Burney Streamline Saloon



b) Bugatti 57SC Atlantic Coupé


Can anyone suggest any similar styled classics (ideally that are more accessible)?

Thanks,
J

Tatra 77 maybe? Not sure how much they go for though.

Don't ask. You can't afford one.

Or, for a cheaper option, how about the relatively common T87?

The Javelin is certainly closer to budget, thanks!

Is that a Riley 12/4? Certainly very close to the streamlined 1930's look that appeals to me

It's a 1936 12/4 six-light Kestrel, beautiful car.

Didn't Avon produce some rather lovely streamlined bodies in the 1930s?
