He still has it today, i should go take a picture of it and post it up to walk away with a win... Otherwise my pic is the au series 1 forte closely followed by just about any ferrari.

Problem with these topics that compare different decades is that building and material methods where so different it makes it also impossible.

Its hard to judge what is a good design, if time is anything to go by then the 911 would have to be up there.

I have only one rule. One car per person.

Here is mine. Aston martin v12 vantage

Lagonda in the late 1930's;'s was quite a motor car but I think the Jag xk120 from the mid 40's was certainly for it's day the best looking , Personally I would onsell the jags I have to own a 120 (or a d type)

Even if i didn't own it myself, i'd be doing a google search and posting one of these. I reckon the 69 Mach 1 is the horn. Gddyup!

Never really looked at the Zonda before. Must say there is something very 'Homer' about it!

XRtowcar Im with your selection.

Although I dont think you can define a muscle car as sexy, just tough.

Also the Zondas are very nice but it seems all modern supercars follow the same design cues (flat arrow type things) which is nice, but when they all look similar it kind of kills the appeal for me.
