Here are some.

Morris Minor - I owned one of these - great car to drive, and curiously the new Mini is closer to this car in size and interior layout than the original Mini. The Minor was designed by Alec Issigonis, who was responsible for the original Mini.

Triumph Roadster - a great looking car.

Ford Anglia 105E - possibly known to our American friends as the car the Weasley boys in the Harry Potter books flew around in.

I think the last three posts are on the wrong thread! You guys should be looking for the "fugly" thread.

Back in the day, my brother had one of these in silver. Always thought the style was "cool".

The Crossfire is a given, so lets pick other cars. I'll start.......


1965 Buick Riviera Jaguar E-Type
Two of my alltime favorites too, would also have to add '69 Pontiac Grand Prix

No doubt the Gumpert Apollo is a stunning car. But it's stunning from an engineering, performance and driving standpoint. Aesthetically it's sort of a mess, but when you design strictly for performance you sort of let aesthetic design fall where it will. True beauty is beside the point, and hardly the goal. While I would love to own one and would even cherish just a ride in one, it certainly won't fit the bill of "most beautiful car design".

You want something brand spanking new that is drop dead gorgeous? I give you the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione. Una macchina bella!

There was one at Cars & Coffee here in Irvine a couple of weeks ago. Unfortunately for me I didn't go that weekend. Dammit!!!

Really? So what part is turbo charged? What exactly is hybrid about it? Refrigerated Intercoolers? And only 2,100 lbs? Unless it has paper mache for an interior, I doubt it. Even with CF I doubt it.

A few cars from my youth that really roped me into being a car guy...

1980-1982 Corvette, pure sex, looks like it's vacuuming up the road. I have one as a project car right now:


1977 Bandit Replica Trans Am, definitely on my top 5 to acquire list:


1970 RS/Z28 Camaro: Has to be the RS with the split bumper




Ok, now I am going to cheat, this is not exactly a production car..The Coyote from the tv series Hardcastle and McCormick...I was actually willing to watch the show, just ot see the car.. it's a modified Manta Montage kit car...would love to find one some day

That whole era had some of the most gorgeous vehicles with the worst performance. But that's easily addressed

Go back to post 16, if that isn't our roof line! Wow, wonder if Eric ever saw that. Even the front glass mimics the original Crossfire prototype. By the way whatever that is its beautiful.
