Ferrari 250 GT SWB California.  My garage would be so very happy.

But you have two wishes left, Jerry - what car in current production, and what car from your family's past, would you park alongside the 250SWB?

But if I have to answer I choose the following:

But I am quite happy with my Volvo P 1800.

Best,

Nicolas.

Which of those is in current production???

In the current production, since you insist to make me come ti modernity, I would say:

Aston Martin DBS, Alfa 8C, and... The new 911. You see, I am not far from my former selection!

Best,

Nicolas

Well, for the family-car at least without the shadow of a doubt the Mercedes W123 230 E my grandfather used to drive, and i got to drive it too from the age of 16 ... .
2/ Current production would be LP700-4

3/ Whatever car ??? Seriously ???? Any of these ... although ...

i'd go for the one on the left: Bugatti Type 35 ...

Bim

But I am surprised, I expected something like an Alpine Renault, or a Renault Alpine, from you.

But, after having tried an A 110, I wonder how you can go into one...

Best,

Nicolas.

.. are difficult to get in to .. for me at least

With the wheel on the legs...



Best,

Nicolas

grown educated literate adult men turn into babbling 5 years too excited to read the owners manuals on Christmas morning, when you ask them to fantasize about the car faerie, given many of the answers offered up so far...

Post It LoooL.

No message body

in that case it would be:

1) Porsche 550 Spider

2) Porsche Cayman S or 911 Turbo - latest ones. Would be hard to choose, even when they are coming with different price tags.

3) BMW 502 V8

Can I meet that fairy in Asia or do I have to fly home before?

Cheers,
Oliver

Wish i was 21 again with my VW Beetle convertible, have so many good memories with/in that bug

At this moment, given current "circumstances"...

1. Any era, any amount of money or even "no amount of money"...

The UR car with the "scissor doors" aka "Lamborghini doors" and the wedge school which was epitomized later with the Lancia Stratos Zero - perfect bookends in any one collection.  These two really should be reunited one day.

2. Current production -

Honestly, until the replacement for the Gallardo comes out, I can't think of any current production car that is more compelling than this one (just barely out of production at the moment - sorry, pplater, I know thems not the original "rules" but as I told someone back when this WAS current production, "It's the only current production car that I have a ...shall we say Viagra obsoleting ero-physiological response to?")

 

3. Once family member - this is a tough one; three are fraught with memories and sentimental significance.

If practicality and use were paramount (I REALLY REALLY want a track car...) then it would be this -

but wait...the rear end is significant...not just any R53 Mini S -

must still have that bumper sticker and badging!

For pure sentimentality, it would be a toss up between

and

yep, I was in love and shared a home with a cover model once...

Cheers,
