And a howl of protest from the owner of several of the finest "driver's cars" ever made...Lancia. For a perfect balance of the attributes that make a car a pleasure to drive, and that made giant killers that won innumerable races against cars with twice the horsepower, Lancias are something special. From the lowliest sedans to the glorious Aurelia convertibles and spiders of the 50's, to drive any Lancia is a treat. If I had to pick one, it would have to be a 4th series Aurelia B20 coupe from the mid 50's, or maybe a Fulvia HF from the 60's. Understated and delightful cars, and pretty, too. Mike Space
THAT is why we love reader comments. Thanks for the counterpoint, Mike.
I've yet to experience a Lancia firsthand, but I've drooled over a Stratos and Delta Integrale. I need to spend some time with earlier models.
(Full disclosure- I had no influence on this final list, so don't hate me if your favorite didn't make it...)
Errr not making this impossible or anything are we :) And I'd drive a GT6 over a TR any day of the week!
Several on my bucket list are here. Lotus Elan, BMW 2002, TR6 have been at the top of the list ever since I've learned about those as a teen (a lo-o-ong time ago. The M3 has been a recent addition.
Oh, someday.
I have to add the 1961 LANCIA FLAMINIA ZAGATO to the list. The steering and handeling at 110 mph 3100 RPM's, 1- 2 barrell solex at 30mpg, OH don't forget to 10" inboard pwr and 11" frount disc brakes working on the 165x400 Perelles for a dead straight stop. I think one of the greatest inexpensive all AL hand built bodies ever built.
Well, I'm more than half way through the list! Not sure if I'll get to the Veyron. Anyone have one I can try?
Hey, you forgot the PL-510 & the 610 DATSUN!
Remember that little sedan with a from the late '60s with a water-cooled 1600-1800 SOHC & 4-wheel ind. susp. with a price tag lower than a VW? Remember how they dominated under 2.5ltr. sedan racing by beating the BMWS?
If you include a BMW 2002, you should also include the DATSUN PL-510 & its' bigger brother the 610 which also beat BMWS on a regular basis and ruled B Sedan during that era.
