If you could own any car what would it be?

BMW 3 series convertible from the 80s, E30 is it? In white ideally.

Absolute dream car. Had a matchbox one as a kid.

Too pricey now I'm old enough to get one!

Citroen SM

Seeing one in a museum recently, it reminded me of how stunning it still looks

The stretched presidential version is pretty cool too, imagine arriving in the back of one of these! Somewhat more impressive than the SUV Macron now uses...

Viper hands down. It's big, it's apparently not very good, but it's beautiful, fast and I drive one at the end of this month...

At half mast thinking about it.

Aston Martin DBS V8 Volante.

Or any Aston Martin.

Lovely looking car but had reliability issues when launched. All left hand drive as well.

You don't buy old Citroens for reliability....

Or indeed old Italian supercars!

Ford Mustang . Not given up hope yet .

New or old model?

I’d love a vintage one but I was thinking brand new .

Anyone with an interest in classic cars should watch Chasing Classic Cars on Sky, some of the absolute beauties Wayne Carini buys and sells are stunning, but christ, they are worth a fortune.

Blimey is there nobody my age on this thing?



Not sure I could manage the tash though...

Practicality aside and money no object what would your dream car be?

It would have to be a Lancia for me - would probably fall to bits but they're the cars I loved as a kid.

Lancia Delta Integrale would probably be my choice.

Ha! I had a Lancia 40 years ago. A Beta Coupe. I've since owned much better, (well very much quicker and more expensive anyway) vehicles but still consider that to have been the most fun. Steering was horrendously heavy though. A friend had a standard Fulvia Coupe which was beautiful. So, for me I think it would be a toss-up between a Lancia Fulvia Zagato and a Brooklands 280 Capri plus somewhere sensible to keep it. Apologies for the photo it's a scan of an old print from a dodgy camera.
