Hello, I have always been a fan of the VW Scirocco so would nominate the early Mk1 & 2.
Nice Bryan. I love the Alitalia, Gulf & Martini liveries.
Very nice Anne.
Nice. Personally I’d favour a Subaru Impreza. Never drive one, but from what I read and hear it’s epic.
Yep the Jensen Interceptor is cool.
Yep that’s one very beautiful looking car. Shame on the prices, and I was told not the greatest drive compared to the Jaguar E-Type. Hopefully I will get to drive one at some point in my lifetime.
Would be a almost classic for me, the Honda Integra DC5. I own one and half of them, one daily and one project and I’d happily own a lot more of them!
Has to be the MK1 Escort for me, stylish, cheap, robust, reliable and simple cars that you could fix most problems at home with a basic set of tools.
I love the Aston Martin DB5 which has such a clean and iconic look.
Jensen Interceptor, because of it’s style, elegance and power.
Triumph GT6, they are just so beautiful and sound amazing.
Ford Cosworth, Escort XR or Rally Suburu.
JBA Falcon TSR.
Classic? Maybe not but it does ‘look the business’.
Ford Escort Mexico, the rally pedigree
Series 1 and 1959 as of the style of the car just love it.
Vauxhall Royale is the most beautiful classic car we owned one years ago in gold
The Group 4 Fiat 131 Abarth Stradale in the iconic works Alitalia livery from 1978/79 as driven by Marku Alen has to be my favourite of all. The Matchbox model i own still puts a smile on my face and is still the quickest car across the kitchen floor.
Yep Annette, the American cars from the 50s to 70s are amazing and such cool shapes and colours. No one did cars like the Yanks.
What a car Laurence. I’d love to sit in a F1 car from any era, to drive one I’d think I’d gone to heaven. For me I’d want to drive the Maserati 250F, beautiful.
Sounds like the cars that got away Trevor. So many car people probably have similar stories, “if only I’d bought that car then” or “if only we kept that car”. Sound familiar?
Opel Manta, i used to rally one until it met it’s demise. Fantastic to watch them in the forests being driven by the top rally drivers of the day. Best car I have ever owned.
Grosser Mercedes because it was Hitler’s car and when I become dictator of Europe, it will be great for rounding up feminists and spiriting them away to concentration camps for a final solution to the feminism problem.
If forced to choose it would be Isetta bubble car of which I could have had 2 for I think £100 when 17, some fifty years ago now. I would love to get the clutch repaired on my own mg midget uja666k if possible
porsche 911 its such a lovely shape
I love the Escort RS2000 – my dads mate had one when I was growing up! My dad did the odd rally with him not in the Escort though.
The Lotus 72 F1 car what a car, the most successful F1 car, probably of all time.
I simply love any American car with big wings and enough chrome to sink a battle ship, the more over the top…the better! Glamour gone mad!!
My favourite classic car is the Jensen Interceptor . Perhaps I am a little bias, because I used to work at Jensen and it was my job to carry out the final inspection and road test.
Mk1 ford cortina 2dr gt……had one when I was much younger……still love them today
Audi Quattro or Metro 6R4 for me.
Original escort
mk2 escort as I regret ever selling my gp4 rs1800
Ford Escort Mk 1. I owned 2 of them and wouldn’t mind owning a third! An amazingly stylish car, yet simple in its design.
My favourite classic car is a Jaguar XK150.One of the best looking cars ever
Lotus 72. Its the epitome of beauty and speed with a 5 year, very successful race history!
Favourite classic car is :Renault 5 Maxi turbo -absolutely stunning machine
Best show for classic
My classic car is a vauxhall viva absolutely amazing car ive had at least 5 of them
A beautiful Volvo for sure, and it’s not often I can say that.
My late father owned a red Volvo P1800S and as a car mad child, I thought it was the most fabulous car I had ever seen. I have seen many fabulous cars since then but the P1800S remains my favourite. ” I bet you can’t catch that car up ahead dad…Vroom!”
Hi Chris,
I like the Stratos as well, and like you I will probably never own one or drive one. I would love to drive one. An owner let me sit in his a few years back at the London Classic Car Show. What a gent and nice thing to do. All the best.
As a rally fan, I’m really fortunate that my favourite classic car just happens to be probably the most iconic rally car of all time, the Lancia Stratos.
One of my lasting memories is from the mid 70’s, when as a 10 year old in love with cars, my late father took me to watch the Lombard RAC rally as it passed through Clipstone and other local forests. The sight and probably more importantly the sound of the works Lancia Stratos struck me deeply as the Italian machines seemed to be from a different universe compared to the 3 box saloons that made up most of the field. Although a Stratos never won an RAC Rally it still is a firm favourite on these shores and the efforts of Steve Perez to run one on UK classic rallies in recent years has been much appreciated by fans.
It’s highly unlikely that I’ll ever get to own a Stratos other than the 1/18th scale model that sits on my bookcase however the sight and as previously mentioned the sound of the real thing still gives me pleasure 40 or so years later.
