Here's what I've gotten so far. Some surprises, some expected.
2 Alfa Spider make mine a boat tail
1 Alvis an elegant car
1 Bentley Mulsanne
I've reached an age where comfort is far more important than wind in the
hair, but with such a Bentley I can have sumptuous comfort AND massive
performance in a level of quiet that it's really quite creepy. What else can
I buy that seats four in comfort, looks like the inside of a Gentleman's
London Club, weighs the better part of 3 tons, accelerates to 60mph in about
8 seconds and totally owns the road because of its size.
2 Big Healey me too
2 BMW 2002 square, but good
1 BMW 635 not quite vintage, but I like these too
4 Bugeye Sprite on my short list
1 52 Chevy truck everyone needs a hauler
1 Citroen it takes all kinds I guess
1 Cobra replica
1 Corvair
1 Corvette early Coke bottle cars maybe the only ones
<25
2 Datsun 240Z Ok, Ok, I admit to liking these too
1 Datsun 510 they are all race cars now
1 Ford '65 Mustang
1 Griffin got to look that one up Dick
2 Jaguar E-type
1 Jaguar MkII cool & no leaky roof
1 Jaguar XK 150FHC
1 Karmann Ghia nice looking cars
1 Lotus Cortina
2 Lotus Ilan luckily I haven't driven one or I'd want one
1 Lotus Esprit can be had well under 25k
1 Mercedes 230SL another one that ages gracefully
1 Mercury Cougar I want one too Harold, but the first year was
'67 not '66. Make mine a white over red
4 Mini a mandatory entry in all our lists in my
book
3 Morgan Plus4 Like it
1 Nash Healey
2 Porsche 356C get them before they are out of sight
2 Porsche 911 just got one, and like it
2 Porsche 914 these are growing on me. I know of one with
an
LS400 engine in it. Can you say fast?
4 TR250/TR5 My Six better be nice because one day...
1 Triumph 2000/2500 understated performance
1 Triumph GT6 bake your own cookies
1 Triumph Mayflower poor man's Rolls
2 Triumph Stag who doesn't need another Triumph
3 Triumph TR3 me too
1 Triumph TR4
2 Triumph TR7 Spyder for the man who has almost everything
2 Triumph TR8 "drunk with power" according to Lanky
2 TVR 2500/3000 like that one too
1 VW 412 uh-huh
Ashford Little
70 TR6
Oh, and I want a mid-60s Ford Fairlane wagon to drive cross country, and a
couple of 55 gallon drums to top off the gas periodically.
