Beautiful Car Pat, like you I'm a little partial to what I have parked in the garage - MGB

Being mentored by Ron Tauranac, also have a "little" bias towards the Brabham BT62







1963 MGB Roadster with GTB Hardtop

1929 Cord L-29. SO far ahead of its' time, and just beautiful.

Many of the early 30s Auburns Cords and Duesenbergs are right there with it.

I’m with the others on the Miura as best design, but will take the opportunity to show two other interesting designs,Wish I had bought a Mangusta when I could.


Would have been nice companion for my swc

Love the large diameter tire and the split window

This design fascinated me when I was a kid, I had a toy car of this one
