As much as a Shelby version is a much sought after car, I think it's too cliche

Pretty much any car built before 1975 would do me. Would love a 1940s American truck, corvette stingray, those early model Ford mustangs are awesome. Love vintage cars and motorbikes. I can't drive though.

I had the chance to buy one in reasonable condition a few years ago and didn’t and it’s one of my big regrets, in similar condition now it’s worth a fair chunk more.

"Pretty much any car built before 1975 would do me."

Like an Austin Allegro or a Morris Marina? You'd have some interesting colours to choose from like piss yellow, snot green or cack brown.

Anyway...my ultimate car would be an early coupe model (1961-ish) Jaguar E-Type in British racing green - I just think the coupe models look better than the open-top models. If I can't have that then just about any 1970s or 1980s Ferrari (in red of course).

"A rust free VW T25 panel tin top 👍🏻"
..

I wouldn't disagree, provided it has power steering so I can dispense with the need for dressing to keep cool.

Also without that god awful gear shift designed for gripping with the right hand.

Otherwise it is the best layout for sleeping to be found in any van of that size. 2.1 injection had adequate power.

Tin top was great for carrying canoes. I never wanted anything higher.

Rust was one reason mine had to go.

The Outer Rim

i already bought my dream car some time ago. it's a datsun 280x 1983. i did have a 1973 BMC FG ex-council library bus that i used to live in but sold that and got a bedford RL 4x4 ex-army radio station which i prefer. it's a beast and goes anywhere in any weather.

motorbikes i have a kwak mach 3, a bomb proof suzi gs550 1978, a kwak z1300 1979, a honda cd175t 1976 (again, bomb proof. a bloke in a transit hit me on it a number of years ago. he spun off and totalled his van ... the bike broke the clutch lever lol) , a yam xjs1300 ....

i have livewire eb on order for the new year, which after riding one round corsica last year, is probably my dream vehicle atm.

Well as regards motoring hardwear, having been there, seen it, done it, got the tee shirt, worn it, and put it in the bin, as well as almost becoming the laughing stock of Great Britain a few years ago over a certain car, which thereby hangs another tale, I'm now enjoying the pleasure and practically of my long wheel base

Wheelchair adapted Peugeot expert tipee that I bought for getting my mum and all her equipment around. I'm using it this weekend and leaving the Jag's at home to go to Scunthorpe with a matress in the back and living the dream.

For the car, two please.

Both 1960 Citroën DSs, one the standard car, the other the convertible. I'd probably choose a different colour than factory options (burnt orange for the convertible, undecided yet on the other), and I'd change the engines for hydrogen fuel cells.

For the motorbike, a Piaggio X10 330 from around 10 years ago (I had one until last year). Probably the ivory/cream with burgundy seat option this time, although the black works well with that seat too. I'd keep the petrol engine.

I'm very much driven by "pretty" or quirky for cars and 'bikes, although for pure driving fun my soft spot is the BMW M5.
