Yes. Very lovely indeed.
That’s a Bentley, yeah. They have rounded radiators, Rollses have sharp, house-shaped ones. And flying ladies of course! :)
Toyota Celica 2.0 1986
No, there was no such thing as a DB5 Zagato, and that's actually a DB7 (so from the 1990s/ 2000s) converted by a company that Ant Anstead (from Wheeler Dealers on the telly) used to run. They kind of caricatured the shape a bit.
Wow, it turns out that XK is actually an electric car!

Yep, and it looks gorgeous. But without that straight six...eh... Mind you, if electric is indeed the way of the future, I'll have it, I'll have it now, please ;)
True, very true. The real deal, the Db4 Zagato, was one of the most pretty cars ever made, though.
1994 Mitsubishi 3000GT
I took this picture in 2012 at the Brussels motor show:
I like all stylish cars Ross no matter what year, how about yourself ?
As Aston and Jaguar themselves do it I can't criticise too much. And I think it makes perfect sense to convert something like an old Mini or Fiat 500.
Can sprint from a standstill to 100km/h in a supercar-scaring 3.8 seconds, while the Performance reaches triple digits in a hypercar-like 2.5s thanks to its Ludicrous drive mode.
Priced from $139,218 and $158,718 aud.....ouch B-)
Sorry, still not convinced.
Here's another pic I took at the 2012 Brussels motorshow.
Bear in mind folks are always converting them into Abarth replicas or whatever, so it's not as if they're all being kept in original condition.
Love those Fiat/Abarth 500's, bought this Lego set to put it next to my 007 DB5:
Not quite sure how they get away with that, to be honest given the MG brand is still going and presumably they hold the rights to the old cars. Maybe they don't.
Some more pictures from 2012:
What's this for?
Oh I like stylish cars, cars with character as well. I wouldn't say a Defender is stylish, but I love the concept. As with i.e. the first Subaru Impreza. I'm not much of a fan of all those cross-over kind of things, especially the SUV's meant for scared soccer moms. Anything that's focuessed on the driving experience.
Design wise I think the sixties are head and shoulders above the rest of the decades.
+1
50s and 60s cars are the best.
I prefer the grille in silver (which is an option) as there is too much black on the car,wheels,roof,grille etc.........Anyone prefer the black grille ?
I don't like the gills at the side....Look cheap. Anyone like them ?
The roof mechanism itself is a world-beater, taking just 6.7 seconds to open and 6.8s to close at speeds up to 50km/h. Aston Martin claims this is the fastest electric roof in the world.
Mercedes-AMG sourced 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8.
The convertible Vantage starts at $314,635 aud
They might be hard to sell at that price ?

It looks much, much better in dark grey and with different wheels.

@JamesCraig I asked why you said this, please be courteous enough to respond.
I agree: the chrome on the 007 one actually makes that shape look classy for the first time if you ask me.
