Yes it really does go well with a great sound track, it's just one of those cars that never fails to put a massive smile on your face.

The angular design has always split opinions but I still enjoy this car.

My 1972 De Tomaso Pantera pre L, my Sunday driving car. After about 25 years of ownership, it's finally sorted where I can drive it without issues. Only took me about 20 years of almost no driving to finally accomplish the car I always wanted. Completely restored inside and out, now running with about 500hp. and ferocious sound.

Chunky, I agree with your remarks about the XK but for some strange reason I picked this up at an auction a couple of weeks ago. Never the most beautiful of E types !
Did like that. Hopefully the fuel leak was easily repaired thumbup

Just stunning, I much prefer these early cars to the winged up GT5S. All in all a great example of my favourite model of my all time favourite car thumbup

My 911SC hasn't changed much over the years, beyond a small fortune spent on maintenance...
Seen here last week after cleaning, next to the new sensible option.

Lovely - the turbo styling looks great. In contrast I had a Tii with full chrome trims, steel wheels and bog standard BMW hub caps - it was epic while it lasted - it rotted like a tragic '70's Alfa.

Thanks! It was (is) a Tii in a past life and has had the body restored twice due to tin worm, second time round it got the turbo kit and a full colour change (previous owner). Mechanically it wasnt good but thats the stuff im able to do so now it goes well also!

I hope so. Sorry for spamming, but I am so happy to have this back after Lockdown absence.

I love these. The only car you’d ever need.

Meanwhile, here’s mine. 25 years old now so I think that makes it a classic
