A bit cleaner than mine!

Dunsfold want almost £20K for it. They were never that smart when brand new.

I saw one of these today and it reminded me of just how suave and sophisticated it looked.

Jaguar XJ220 - One of the most beautiful modern Jaguar cars, as well as one of the fastest.

Avro Vulcan - This jet bomber is already half a century old and is still very modern looking even to this day.

Sea Cat - It looks wonderful yet purposeful.

Sadly no longer in service - but it was the height of elegance and beauty.

Great choice Nelberto, have been lucky enough to see Andy and the car at a number of events including a speed hill climb in Worcestershire.

These Cossie Vee 6 units first served their time in DTM (German Touring Car Series) in the Opel Calibras of Team Rosberg of all things and one unit built by Geoff Richardson found its way into a Gould single seater that won the MSA British Hill Climb Championship in 2001/2002 driven by Graeme Wight Jr. That engine expired in 2003 and is still sitting under a bench in a shed near Aberdeen. GWJ has since built the sensational Predator with Brian Hart Vee10 power and recently completed a Suzuki Hayabusa powered version named Raptor

My wifes mercedes A150.

a massively underrated car which performs well, drives superbly and is a pleasure to drive.

i would easily rate this in my top 3 cars.

also the supermarine spitfire. it has been a childhood dream to own one of these fine aircraft. the sound, the looks. totally unmistakable. a legend worthy of it's status.

I have noticed that a few people have put the Supermarine Spitfire. Well you can actually own one. There is a company in Australia that builds exact replicas and ship them out all over the world.
The irony of it is, I believe they use BMW (German) engines.

I saw a documentary on TV recently, in which some celebrity was travelling from Australia to China ( I think? ) & he flew some of the way in one.
It might have been called "By any means"

A fully-stocked drinks trolley chauffeured by an attractive female.
