Shhh! No talk of nice SAABs please.
I've only just talked myself out of buying this one

Sorry for big pictures, they were the best I could find. My dad brought each of these home on separate occasions inspiring my love for cars when I was a kid. Sadly I wasn't old enough to drive at the time. A bit retro and dated now. He still loves the Z31 300 though (second picture). He didn't literally come home in the Championship touring car it was just a brand new Primera SRI with the exact same decals on. It was a Nissan promotional car. There was a GT model that had colour changing paint, I think it went from Green to Purple depending on temperature.
 
1966 Matra Djet. A sort of French, mid engined Lotus Elan. Yuri Gargarin had one!

They aren't (yet) ridiculously expensive and use the ubiquitous and venerable Renault Cléon engine - a reasonable ownership proposition. I'll probably have one at some point.

This one, the Bagheera, always appealed to me.

The RM Auctions web site is usually a rich vein of car porn. Across the block in Monaco next month: the 1956 Maserati 450S raced by Sir Stirling Moss at the Mille Miglia. €4.4m reserve if anyone fancies it.

It makes an E-Type look like a VW Beetle.
 
Speaking of SAABs - my dream car. When I was a kid and I'd see this car pass I always thought that Saab did what the hell they wanted.:) And I knew nothing about James Bond.

Bentley Continental Mulliner Fastback

Obviously as a confirmed eco-hippy I'd have to replace the petrol engine with batteries, but I'm thinking perhaps a H2O2 rocket turbine (e.g. the fuel pump from a Black Knight missile) for ecologically sound overtaking.

I'd have posted that ages ago, but I thought a Ford Escort was a bit ... sensible for a car porn thread. On the other hand, a Group 4 Escort in full flight is one of motoring's great sights and sounds:

Hear those BDAs sing... :cool:

Escorts were my youth... some of the nicest cars ever built. ;)
 
Vanwall were the first F1 team to win the Constructor's Championship. Their cars were raced by legends like Mike Hawthorn, Sir Stirling Moss and Tony Brooks.

Here's their road-legal version:
