Rather than being aloud, may I discreetly ask if you mean the version with the engine from a Ford Cortina (the Vallelunga) or simplly the later ones with big V8 Yank power not overly civilised - in pink perhaps ?

A nice history but we're judging the car's beauty - not origins of !

Range Rover ? R U sure that people haven't confused 'beauty' with 'favourite' ?

I notice you have chosen the worst possible pic of a Pantera that exists, it is strange that I only came across that pic yesterday & thought what the f***.

I know beauty is in the eye of beholder but a particularly handsome looking car might not necessarily be beautiful

One of my faves is this, not beautiful because it's too brutish

Oh yes the Aston V8 Vantage could join the Pantera @ no1 probably along with several others I have not thought of. ;)

I agree it is brutish & has great presence, to me it is the most beautiful Aston ever made & was it not the last Aston to be made in the traditional way.

Ah, never saw the image on my other PC.

NOT beautiful, attractive in a brutish way but not pretty - too slugsy and fat !

Most beautiful Aston made ? You're having me on there.....get some glasses.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder (attractive is usually better than beautiful anyway, less competition :D) whats the most beautiful Aston then a DB5 ? would'nt catch me paying a mil for one :eek:

We're not talking money - we're talking beauty - could I afford a Miura ? No, but I have a 240Z.

You misunderstood Sean no we are not talking money here. To me a V8 Vantage is a far better looking car than a DB5. A Miura is very nice but if you are talking real beauty really stand back & study an Aventador it is a true masterpiece the best looking Lambo ever,( oh ok its an Audi before you say it. ;)

You have a 240Z & that is one of the most beautiful looking cars ever.

It's exactly what I'm saying, not a beauty as too brutish, the British muscle car

But fooking quick in it's final incarnation (X pack)

I'd say it is the best looking Aston made but again, like I said, beauty is in the eye.........

But I'm not asking you to choose the least worst in Astons - neither are beautiful and nor is the lambo - the LP400 is better looking but still not beautiful.

Speed is not the issue here.

Best looking Aston is like saying the best looking BL car - hardly puts it heads above beautiful cars from other manufacturers.

I've already said it's not a beauty, some people don't like beautiful cars in which case this Aston wouldn't appeal

But it just proves this case is subjective and especially when you effectively state that Aston never made a beautiful car when almost everyone agrees that a latter DBS is a thing of sheer beauty.

As much as I like the design of the Z I wouldn't put it anywhere near the top of the list and certainly no where near the DBS

The DBS has no place there and I wouldn't suggest that the Z is near the top of the list but people vote for what they know - ignorance rules.

The Z can only be near the top of the list if it's in the list:p;)

It didn't make the top 100!

So are you suggesting that generally British people are ignorant when it comes to awareness about the s30 hence it's ommission?

Dr Lecter said it right "you cannot covet what you don't see (know) !"

And too many years of the media purporting unpatriotic 'jap-****'.
