Most beautiful car you've ever seen

MercuryT · 31-08-2021, 03:10 PM

Hi all.
Topic is obvious and this can include road cars, race cars, off road or prototypes.

The one car that stands above others in your mind.

Mine is the original GT40. To see one in person (years ago...in gulf colours) just blew me away.

Of course there is no right or wrong so let's make it a positive discussion.

Yours?

What’s the trick in getting the oil filter out of the car on a FGXR8
Got it off okay..... can’t get it OUT!!! No room between subframe & block.
Tried a million ways..l did it once before.can’t remember how!
I’m losing patience very quickly.. might just put it back on 🤪😖

Jack Roush’s Boss 429. Absolute thing of beauty.
Iirc it’s actually build number 429 also.

rare ss · 31-08-2021, 04:54 PM

you can't spell beautiful without AU..

I quite liked the AU 300+ Coupe

Pis-ton broke · 31-08-2021, 05:53 PM

1967 Bizzarrini 5300 GT Strada, i found out about this resently though j. leno,s vidoes. and i think wow, i love the old Italian cars. in fact this car was designed by the ex-ferrari designer Giotto Bizzarrini, after the"big ferrari walk out". i think beautiful is a good description of its styling.

google pictures don,t do it justice imo. however j leno,s camera man has done a good job capturing its form.

Interesting as I've never rated the e-type.

It's obviously a famous car so hence different opinions which is great

Enzo must must have been having an off day that day... big time.
He made better looking cars himself. Like the 250 LM and 250 GT0
The Lusso.

Ill add the Cisitalia 202.
The Facel Vega.
Lamborghini Miura and Countach.

Can't argue with that, although I prefer the modern day version.

Look at that ***!

And it has the be the pre-facelift version with the more upright headlights.

Yes definately anything Billy Gibbons owned. "Cadzilla" right up there with the "Eliminator."
