Your dream car

[Mr Brunel]

OK, all pie in the sky dreamers gather up, what would your dream car be?

Regardless of money, space, "out-of-production"...

 

Here's a couple to start off - my own choices :

[S.A.C Martin]

Already own it

 

Mine and my dad's Lotus Turbo Esprit, S3, JPS liveried, Team Lotus, World Championship Company Car:

 

 

We've spent a long time restoring this one to full spec - still the interior to do! Previous owners, two, first was a Mr N.Mansell (whose name you can make out on the car itself).

[Sidecar Racer]

Oh yes , a Mini Cooper S like that is a great chioce , but this I would reaaly like to have .

[Del]

 

[gordon s]

There is only one....

 

[The Fatadder]

I'll take a 1953 Cadillac Eldorado in red please.

 

I've wanted to drive across America in one of those for a good few years

[Guest Natalie Graham]

I'm not that bothered about cars (Although that Alfa 8C is rather nice) so my dream vehicle would have to be:

 

 

 

[Trainshed Terry]

It has to be in my book.

 

 

Or a blokes car. B)

 

 

Terry.

 

And for sheer fear factor one of these.

 

[KevinWalsh]

For sheer fun value it has to be one of these.

Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst Edition

 

Jensen Interceptor (the one with the ridiclously sized engine)

 

Lancia Delta Intergrale (in perfect nick only).

[RedgateModels]

Already own it

 

Mine and my dad's Lotus Turbo Esprit, S3, JPS liveried, Team Lotus, World Championship Company Car:

wow, you lucky, lucky man. Ok my real dream car was a Elan S4 dophead sprint in Gold Leaf colours, but man, that Esprit is my whole childhood wrapped up in fibreglass!

 

Now, I'd have a WRX

[Flood]

I don't expect, nor want, anyone to understand but after five years I still can't beat her...

 

[43179]

An Original Audi Quattro (in black of course) - plus another vote for a Lancia Delta

Only lucky now - you should have seen it 12 years ago. It's taken a lot of hard graft to get it to this state, and I STILL can't drive it

 

The insurance company doesn't like the idea of a 22 year old driving a Lotus Esprit, strangely enough

 

We had to make new panels for the front end from scratch, and a new bumper - the previous owner hadn't treated it badly by any means, but the fibreglass panels were failing. It's - off the top of my head - just coming up to 30 years old now. I reckon 80% is original, the 20% is directly related to the panels we sadly had to replace, although it's a credit to my dad's paintwork that it all matches in shade and colour for both lining and the gloss black finish.

Unfortunately, despite how much i messed around with my own photos, i could not get them to look decent so from wikipedia, under creative commons attribution-share license .

Another vote for the Lancia Integrale and Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst, in White or Red for me!

 

Vauxhall Insignia VXR, White with the dark Grey wheels. (Saw one today and have sat in one, want it!!)

 

Honda Intergra type-R, in White yet again.

 

Mitsubishi Evo 7, 8 or 9.

 

And, hear me out on this, a Renault Espace 3.5 V6. The thought of pulling up to the lights in a standard looking MPV but being able to trash the boy racer in his souped up Saxo or Corsa puts an evil smile on my face! (0-60 in under 8 secs , tops out at 140mph!)

A motor that I've always liked

Yes I have been to the Schlumpf museum in Mulhouse to see the many nice Bugatti cars that they have.

 

In stead I just have a Bentley - I have a photo of a Bugatti type 35C Atlantic at Mulhouse painted similarly.
