Saw one of these down Tooting/Balham way yesterday, a real marmite of a car and rare in convertable form. If you do hanker after one, there just happens to be a yellow one for sale in Wandsworth at the mo.

There's one of these down the road from me.

How the designers at Citroen are able to look at something like this, then look at the garbage they churn out these days, and not immediately shoot themselves in shame I've no idea.
 
The car I got to spend a few hours driving today. 1954 Bently R Type

When I had one of these

I liked to stroke it, the finish was so tactile, but that R is so very beautiful I think I'd have had to just look at it all the time. So, so beautiful
 
She is a bit sexy, shame there's a fair bit of rust on her. You can see on ther front line of the arches, there's a split either side where it's popped up. Seats have just been redone though, all the original blue leather reconditioned and restored.
 
I know Frank has posted Lancia's earlier, but I was reinded of the Delta Intagrale by Wheeler Dealers last night.
Factory fitted right hand drive, permanent 4 wheel drive, great handling and 4 doors to boot. As with little
Italians, shit of a shovel. What a tidy little motor.

London Classic and Sports Car Show, Interesting? It's at Ally Pally; how many cars can they get in there. Will it all be auction houses, dealers and the
like displaying their wares? £27 on the door per person. Still it might be worth taking a stroll around the car parks!

Another super-rare Italian rally weapon, this time from the 1970s, the Fiat 131 Abarth:

They only made 400-odd to qualify them for Group 4. Road cars - which I imagine would be a hoot to drive - are virtually unobtainable and extremely expensive, and AFAIK a lot that do come up for sale are fakes, whilst ex-works rally cars command silly money.
 
For more affordable - as in 20 grand for a good one - fun, a British rally hero of the same era, the Talbot Sunbeam Lotus:

Even by today's standards these things are quick, and slinging one around on a twisty B-road sounds like my idea of fun.
 
Before the F1, MP4 and 650LT there was the McLaren Mustang.

I quite like Fox Body Mustangs and this was probably the best iteration of the breed.
 
Aesthetically, you will require no other car .... the sheet metal is sculptured to perfection.
Aston Martin V12 Zagato celebrates the 50 yr relationship with the Italian coachbuilder/design house.

The V12 Zagato was, actually, penned 'in house' by Aston's chief designer Marek Reichman.

I feel ashamed about the lust I have for this thing. But what 'a thing' !!Aston-Martin-Zagato.jpg

That is stunning. Much better lookig than either the DB10 ( which there are no plans to put into production ) or the new 4x4.

It walked away with the 'Design Award' at the 2011 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este in Lake Como, Italy.
 
A touch old school, but Jensens are rather nice, expecially the CV8's, the lights front and back, the lines down the side, long bonnet.....

They should shoot themselves for that heap of crap. Utterly hateful things.
