Car appreciation... the aesthetics, the engineering, etc

Insert off-topic rant...

You've beat me in top trumps there, my dream car there was only 48 produced, Caterham 21, basically a full bodied Seven.

my father collected vintage and rare exotics for years, there is something special about being in possession of a limited edition gem, not just its exclusivity but alot of those rare numbered cars are hand rared and have intricate detail that makes then even more special

Jensen Interceptor? British made, Vignale styling, 7 litre V8, and really have the archetypal 60's vibe.
Bristol of some sort? - wonderful cars, built properly, again with a reliable unstressed V8.
Daimler Majestic Major - Edward Turner's fabulous 4.5 litre V8, faster than a Jaguar 4.2 litre and proper stately home styling.

I wont bid..promise... :] shes all yours!
