Best looking car from your youth?

[KungFooBob]

No question...



With a white Lotus Esprit a distant second.

Ever since school days i always loved the look of the Mk1 Celica. Guy up the road from us in the 70's had one with a chrome side mounted exhaust that sounded amazing to a 13/14 year old

I always thought the Opel Mantra was a cool as anything
But then there was the Jensen Interceptor, the E type - and that Maserati engined Citroen

[Mussels]

I used to think it was the Firebird until I realised the car looked rubbish and I just liked the big logo on the bonnet.

I’m torn here but if I had to nail it down to one then today I’d go with a Lancia Stratos in Marlboro colours.

Stratos HAS to be in Alitalia colours.

The Cannonball Run Countach is worth a mention...

Guy has been trying to sell on in the next town along from us. It was up for 18k for about a year. Think he pulled the add now (probably for winter) but no doubt it will be back up come the spring.

When I was young, we had a speedboat moored on Windermere.
On Sundays when we drove up to ski, some of me dad's mates had some very nice motors. Me faves were the E-Type and MGB-MG-GT.

Then when I was in Monaco about 21 I saw a brand new Lanborghini Countach with gullwing doors pull up next to a huge yacht. Wow.

Then Magnum's Ferrari We watched them filming for about half hour when we were on Oahu in 1986. Sounded very nice

Quite sadly I had a 1500 delta in martini colours.
One of the best looking in the lay-by awaiting recovery i ever had!

I saw one for sale earlier when I was browsing a magazine, it looked really good, two tone colour scheme.

I saw one for sale just after my dad died and my brother and I had sold his house and split the money. The price was pretty much exactly what I got from the house. It would have been an insane move. I wish I'd bought it.
