Unusual cars you’d like to own....

[Alphabettispaghetti]

I’ve had a massive hankering for around 10 years for a dare ginetta g4(with roof). Super rare, super small, super unknown.

what’s the ‘unusual’ mistress you’d like in your garage?

 

[Bazzateer]

Not exactly unusual but before I got the Z I was looking for a Chevette HS in standard road trim. Good ones are in the mid to high £20s now so out of my reach (I could sell everything else and get one but where's the fun in that?).

I've always wanted a Buick Riviera ... but never quite had the cajonies to buy one ... will never own one now - I just like the idea of owning it. Could be one of the boat-tail ones or the earlier ones - they just look superb from the front or back I think. No idea what they ride like - like a liner no doubt - but it's just the road presence.

Failing that, some fibreglass Ford special from the 1950s conceived on a beer mat or the back of a fag packet. Take your old Ford, rip the cycle wings off it - and install one of these here new fangled plastic bodies and it becomes a sportscar overnight. I just like the whole concept.

Failing that, an R107 Merc ala Bobby Ewing in Dallas, but that's hardly an unusual car, just a good one.

Probably a Subaru 360 van - no idea how I'd fit in it though!

Lancia Aurelia B20 GT Outlaw

I've fancied one of these for some time now.
VW SP2, designed and built in Brazil (SP stands for São Paulo)



They are supposed to be pretty gutless though, the Brazilian nickname is Sem Potência (without power).
Nothing a Scooby swap wouldn't fix.

 

[Bazzateer]

Couple of good calls with the SP2 and Lancia.

Buick Riviera -boat-tail from 1973

Earlier one - 1963

Ford Special - in this case an Ashley ...

Merc R107 - a mate has a 450SL and loves it.

 

[Bazzateer]

Prefer the earlier Buick but there's something appealing about that first pic that I can't quite put my finger on ...............

I'd like this:

Saw it racing at Donington last year - it's a good looking car and won it's race too.

A 'big Healey' would be lovely too but 'in keeping' with the title of the Thread this is unusual. Woody928 have you got the book 'Big Healeys in Competion' it's superb?

Bristol 411.

I am so far behind you guys.

I'm somewhere about here if I win the lottery................



And here some time after the end of lockdown



Not thinking past there really

I change my mind all the time over my dream garage.

Always liked a 1960s Lincoln or an old unimog

 

[uk66fastback]

Hardly a 'stock' Lincoln!

 

[moggy240]

Mine would be an 1ltr Austin metro and a rover metro with a 1.8 vvc engine conversion.

Living the dream.............. Almost as Lancia delta Intergrale or metro 6r4 would be preferred.

Unimog is on my list also.

Never thought anyone would desire after a Metro! However Patrick Watts pedals one along quite quickly

.

 

[moggy240]

Lol, well it was unusual cars. Would never had brought the 1.8vvc metro until my mate took me for a spin in it.

As a kid I always fancied a Lister Jaguar XJS.

Looking at one again, I think I still do.
