You'd have to have a Lancia Aprilia from the thirties, and a Light 15 Citroen. An unmolested, stark Model T Ford.
For amusement, a chain drive Frazer Nash. A 1.5 litre V12 Ferrari barchetta from the fifties. A proper Coventry Climax-engined Lotus Elite.
Six already? Transport. A shabby-looking, debadged Audi RS4. A V10 diesel VW Phaeton (does it really exist? Never seen a review). A Citroen C5. A not-too-highly-tuned 1400cc five-speed Mini - a proper Mini of course - for town.
That's ten. Of course there are dozens of others, old and new.

You want to own ten cars ?
What a nightmare !
My dream car is:
owned and paid for by someone else, and garaged elsewhere.
And I want to sit in the back - so no coupes or 2 seaters.
It gets cleaned just before it picks me up and just takes me wherever I'm going.
Yes, I know your kids have got such a car, and I want one too :-)
I used to get ferried around in France by a CX21 with a lovely leather interior - and that would suit me just fine. I'd add a caterham or vx220 for track use - someone else would take it there for me.
Cliff Pope's list is just great :-)
|
Am sure that my selection would come from those mentioned above but (sorry) the tractor would n't make it into my garage - perhaps I'd consider including in my "dream ten vehicle barn" selection.
Would have to find room for a Bugatti Atlantic in prime condition. Must be one of the best looking cars ever designed. I'd also like a Jaguar XK150 please.
|
Bugatti 57SC Atalante RTB? The one with a seam or fin down the middle of the roof?
XK 140 and 150 coupes quite desirable, yes.
|
1. VW 2.5l diesel camper, 2 berth & all mod cons. (white)
2. Alvis Silver Eagle Atlantic (blue)
3. Porsche 911 2.7 RS (white)
4. BMW M5 Tourer, current model (silver)
5. Mini Cooper S 1275 (BRG with white roof)
6. Ford Mustang ? Bullitt model (metallic green)
7. Ford Deuce Coupe . 1932 with modern Chevy small block V8 and all mod cons.(red with yellow steel wheels)
8. BMW R1150R, for riding (black)
9. Ducati 1098, for adoration (red)
10. Hyundai Getz 1.4 GSI. SWMBO loves it. (grey)
