Unusual cars you've always liked......

[PaulRamone]

Think the ones I had must have been mid 70's - longest was a Cadillac Fleetwood, heaviest a Daimler Pullman, fastest a Ferrari BB - had some weird and wonderful cars I've still to this day never seen on the road, like a Monteverdi Hai and Bricklin SV.

Vitesse convertible, absolute classic.

Can't believe my pal had one of these in 1970... and was desperate to trade it for a 'new' Austin 1100. Looking at it now- I love it!

Bricklin was definitely the inspiration for the DeLorean style wise, gullwing doors anarl.

Absolute rust buckets but the v8 doesn't half sound good.

Drove my mates one. The steering wheel wasn't round- it was sort of oval/ rectangular.

Delahaye made some of the finest cars of the time, and the most expensive. Bloody lovely.

Nice arse, shame about the face. I think a lot of parts on these limited production cars came from the BMC parts bin. I think I read somewhere that Peter Sellers had one.

The original Citroën 2CV - not the poxy 1980s special editions. Clever engineering and mental suspension.

Not sure about Sellers ownership but he liked the Chinese Eye style (he had a couple of Silver Cloud Rollers with similar styled headlights) so he might have?
