Talk Morgan Forums Community The Malvern Arms Cars to own before you die

I'm not trying to be morbid but over lunch some lads at work and I started talking about cars we have to own before we die. The condition was that these cars need to be attainable and not if I win the lottery I would buy type cars.

Mine were: Bentley Arnage: how nice to waft down the road in such luxury! Jensen CV8: teenage dream. Volvo P1800: remember The Saint?

Would love to own a Porsche Cabriolet one day, but not sure I wanted to associate myself with the unsavoury characters who usually seen driving those cars

Seriously, a Porker, a Bristol and a Beetle cabriolet

A V8 Aston Martin....

I believe there is another member of TM (a VERY car mad one!) who is tempted by a V8 Aston ...beautiful cars.

For me: - a 964 Turbo 3.6, 1965-67 Mustang fastback V8 manual, Honda NSX 3.2, Plus 8 or V6 Roadster and many others

Any of those listed so far but I'd have to add to an AC 428 /Frura or a 1960's Maserati Minstrel

PRetty mcuh all Maserati!

3500GT - really love it!
Mistral - gorgeous - but same runnning costs as
Bora - MMMMMMM have to have one before I check out.
Ghibli Spyder - probably the best supercar convertible from that period in my book.
Ghibli Cup - pretty much the only Ghibli I like from the later period
Original Quattroporte from the 60's - such style and elegance - and grunt!

Lamborghini

400GT - underrated and beautifful
Countach - still v high on my list - Anniversary
Diablo - 6.0 or SV for me please - in black!

Aston

Vanquish - one day - 'S' model please!

Alfa

SZ - love the butch chin on these - shame they are so pedestrian

Brabus

something stupid - really liked the look of the CV8 a few years back - a sports coupe with a supercharged 600bhp V8 up front. Mental! Probably only a few made, and I'll never find one!

Ruf

R Turbo - 996 please
3600RS lovely also.

Jaguar

XJ-R - old shape - just the quintisential British saloon shape.

Lotus

Esprit - always wanted one, never fitted though.

Caterham

A superlight please - not too fast though

Alvis

Big old 50's saloon - on a par with Aston but available now for so much less. Beautiful beasts

Anything by Zagato - pretty much. Especially Alfas / Fiats.

Bowler Wildcvat - crazy TVR 5000cc engine in spaceframe landrover. And a ticket for the Paris Dakar...

ypu are all greedy. i would be happy with just a Plus 4

A Lancer Evo... always wanted one... not sure why... hate Scooby Doo's though...

Any sort of Ferrari.....never had one (yet)....

Oooooo... and of course... some sort of high quality modern 4x4 like a RR, X5, etc

Csn't believe I left my all time favorite out

AC Cobra

Oh there are a few 'crazy-turbo-nutter-Japanese' cars that I like: - 3rd generation Mazda RX-7 (hard to find one without a bodykit), Impreza Type 25, R34 Skyline GT-R Nur Spec... any of those would do just to get that genre of car out of my system.
