Should have set a year then, ffs

And you should read the thread ?

The official british definition would be: All cars built before January 1973
modern classics I guess 20-25 yo or so

Your welcome to throw that in the top post though, you know, to avoid any future misunderstanding

Aston Martin DB5 - James Bond Car

1969 Boss 429 Mustang

Lotus 7

1966 Shelby 427 Cobra

Forgot one of the great Brit cars I always liked

Triumph TR3

Indeed, why settle for 3
The 429 is awesome! very very rare though :/

Problem with the Boss Mustangs is provenance, most of the ones still in existence are actually fakes, especially the 429 in your picture (they made less than a 1000 429s and less than 2000 351s, so a lot of fakes are converted 302s). One of the few American cars I'd actually want in my garage though.

TR3 is genuinely one of the most uncomfortable cars I've driven. Not a car to own if you value your spine. For a similar vintage I'd suggest the Austin-Healey 100-6; its a much nicer car.

Stunning!

I'd also gladly have, mostly because it's a true icon

I'm not much into cars but there are some nice ones around...

Dodge Charger

Spoiler

Lamborghini Countach (large image)

And pretty much anything that looks something like this

Vintage cars are nice, but I cant get this piece of beauty out of my head.

Ford Mustang Shelby GT... white, without stripes (Yes, I prefer the new model)

If it was about the ride you could also exclude most of the British Classics like the E-Type, MG GBT, TRanything... All were pretty lousy rides for your back Still damned fine looking cars and fun to drive, even if for a short time only. A Barrister friend of mine owned an E-Type and I drove it quite a few times, fun but not exactly comfortable.

Thought this was about looks anyway.

Corvette was nice but still not a touch on the Alfa Spider Series 1 (1966) - just oozes class.

A very different car though?
might as well have both

I know that (I used to work for a classic car magazine), but the TR3 is a particularly extreme example. MGs actually ride quite well as it happens as does an e-type. The TRs had this "hairy chested" macho thing going on which basically meant no suspension and heavy steering (for a sports car). To be honest if I was going to get a classic Triumph I'd get a GT6. My first car was a Spitfire and I always wanted to "graduate" to the GT6. Instead I got fixated on Italian cars instead, which never ends well.
