SoiBiker Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ignis Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 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....

giddyup Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Aaaaaaaaah, a Triumph Mayflower. my uncle had one, as a kid I felt like royalty riding in it..

sotsira Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 This thread wouldn't be complete without the AC Cobra. This time an Anglo/American combination, AC developed body style with American V8 muscle.
