December 6, 201510 yr One things for sure, it seems cars are thought of the same as ladies in respect of.. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder".. Plus, of course, performance, ride quality and durability are important too. http://cdn.corlate.info/2015/08/09/alfaromeogtv1974-l-f855351e90aec0f3.jpg Durability depends on available cash. Myself liked better, friend has one, same colour, but then he did run the Montreal Club UKAlfa_Romeo_Montreal.PNG Edit: Last time I was there he was making a trip to Italy for some engine parts + other things, the engine was in bits in his garage I'd forgotten about these. Awesome car. V8, wasn't it?
December 6, 201510 yr 1970 Panther V8 Twin Turbo Always thought the 1950' Jensen looked better than the Interceptor..... on the other hand the Interceptor Cabriolet with the top down was very nice looking.... Another older V8
December 7, 201510 yr My love of cars went right out the window when I moved to Thailand... Scares the crap out of me driving here.....

December 7, 201510 yr Aaaaaaaaah, a Triumph Mayflower. my uncle had one, as a kid I felt like royalty riding in it.. I remember that my father considered buying one, and even as a kid I thought it was the ugliest car I'd ever seen.
December 7, 201510 yr The ISO Grifo a 1960's super car with Italian body styling and American Muscle. Edit: Sorry Ace, i just saw you posted one in post 26, but the small pic you put didn't do it justice. Anyway, this is a muscle car with beauty!

I remember that my father considered buying one, and even as a kid I thought it was the ugliest car I'd ever seen. But your dad didn't eh.... I think it was the look of horror on my face that convinced him not to buy.

This was it's successor, dad/you might prefer it, looks like a copy of a Ford Poplar to me... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Eight#/media/File:Standard_8hp_Saloon_1946.jpg A Morris 8 was my very first car, and what a heap of sh*t it was!
December 7, 201510 yr I owned and restored one of these beauties, but sold it about 20 years ago. Used to turn heads.
December 7, 201510 yr This thread wouldn't be complete without the AC Cobra. This time an Anglo/American combination, AC developed body style with American V8 muscle. Notice the engine mounting position is set back between the front and rear wheels to give equal weight distribution.
