Having owned and sold too many cars that became classics, including TR6, Lancia Fulvia, Alfa 2000 GTV (Bertone), the one I always hankered after was the Austin Healey 3000.
We bought the modern Morgan because we hope that we will spend more hours behind the wheel than under the bonnet. Mind you there have been some trials and tribulations so far!! Time will tell

Ultima , Ford gt40 are both heavy'ish cars , ok they are great on straights but nothijg beats the fun of driving a caterham 7 , handling , acceleration , B roads , cornering , 550kg and 150 bhp or more are difficult to beat !

Had a MGA for 12 years, lovely cars to drive. Also had a healey 3000, very overrated cars. Lottery cars would be 1 A110 alpine 2 Ferrari Dino 3 Jaguar SS pre war. PS forgot the 427 Cobra. Run out of money now.

It depends on many things - partly whether I would have to tell the wife and perhaps more pertinently whether it is a real world question or fantasy garage!
Sunbeam Tiger seems like a suitable stupid idea in either case - but I am good at executing those. Volvo 240 Turbo - maybe even a 242GT if one could be found (hens have more teeth), a yellow 850T5R with a manual gearbox would be nice - but too many have left the roads forever. Still on the Volvo front I still have a hankering for a PV544 - simply because it looks like every cartoon car ever!
My idea of classics though tend to be newer than most, as classics tend to come from a youthful yearning: E34 M5, Alpina B10 Bi-Turbo, Merc E500 (W124), Lotus Carlton all jump out. I am not a fan of rallying but a SWB Quattro would be jolly tempting - and staying on the Audi front an RS2 would be quite nice. BMW 635 or 840CSI would also be tempting - as would an E30 M3 (remains the most entertaining car I have driven). Citroen SM to cruise down to Monaco in, a nice little Alfa 2000GT to tear round the Alps in, a Jensen Interceptor for those cross continental journeys, a W8 Passat for being an automotive oddity and finally, would you mind if I kept the SS - for just being magical.
