I love the victoria , I first saw one in Benidorm 21 years ago I know its only an Austin 1300 with a boot but its kind of quirky , My favourite classic cars are the Dodge Charger (as in Dukes of Hazzard ) The Ferrari Daytons (as in Miami Vice and the only Ferrari I have ever liked ) Mk1 Ford Granada and the 1600E Mk2 cortina Oh and as a modern classic the Triumph dolomite Sprint , Triumph 2500s , Rover P6 and Mk2 escort RS 2000

I am a real old car person, I like most cars from the late 20's to mid 30's.
American cars from the 50's also have a big apeal to me like the chevy's edsel and Buicks.
I think the ultamate car has to be the Amazon as it has the style of a 50's yank but the performance and road holding to match a modern car. I think having over 10 of them must count for something.

Oh I do think the seat does look a bit quirky, at a glance it looks similare to the Fiat.

Those Seats are probably worth quite a bit of money now. I think they are derived from the Fiat 500s - and they sell very well now, much sought after.

My favourite classics are the Tatras, rear engined air cooled V8s and limousines. One of the most advanced car makers of their time.

Regards,

Al

Sport cars, powerful 2 door cars, those are my type of classics

Got a few favorites, here are some samples:

The last 2 are semi-classics, but i still think they're very special. There are a lot more on my mind. But i don't feel like posting 10 more pics

Must agree with Dai, the Amazons are a wonderful classic. Probably helps seeing seven or however many my Dad has everyday! They are such an experience to drive, and as Dai said, that nice 50's styling, but best of all, it's a Volvo, and built to last.

American cars of the fifties and Muscle cars of the sixties, the Mustang in particular. Also the MG B GT

It was made only in Spain,from 1964 to 1967,it was 18 centimetres longer than the 600 and 18000 units were built.

Seat 600 was a best seller in Finland in 1971.

Citroen DS cabriolet, 1958. That is absolutely the most beautiful car ever made, EVER! and ofcourse the citroen CX prestige turbo 2, 1987. In bordeaux red metallic with tainted windows and black leather, that is classy

Give me a Rover SD1 any day! I will own one within the next few years!!

Or a Triumph Stag would be good too

Although a mate has just finished making a Dolomite Sprint with a Stag v8 in it, which would be pretty cool!!!
