Thread: Choose One Car From History To Drive.

I would need to choose a Duesenberg SJ



It was the fastest car in the World in the 1930's. Eight Cylinder Supercharged 6.9L engine.

Capable of 104mph in 2nd gear! And tops out at 140mph.

Imagine flying down the autobahn at 140mph in 1936 in that.

Over to you.

Aston Martin V8 Vantage.

Similarly was the world's fastest production car when it came out in the 70's.

An old mate of mine had a garage in the UK which specialized in renovating classic cars, and he had this beaut in for some work.

Took a couple of us out for a spin. The Vantage had 3 forward manual gears and did 0-60 in under 5 secs. The acceleration was amazing.

The Aston's are beauts.

It looks quite like an American muscle car, that one. Not that that is good or bad.

Not as imaginative as some granted, but I'd choose a R/T E49 Charger:



Only because I've always wanted to, probably never will, and it's fantasy so fuck you.

Yeah, the front end looks like a Mustang, maybe a Shelby design?

the mustang and vantage often feature in lists of commonly confused cars

I bought a vantage last week but it is only 10cm long!

I have still got my old flying goggles from my motorbike days so I will go with



Bentley Blower 4 1/2 litre

Nice.

They don't build them like they used to.

Didn't Richard Hammond splash out on an old wooden car when he made it big?

Yes he did.

100 of them made, only 6 right hand drive.

A true dream car since many years ago. The problem is even if I won the Lottery and had a lazy million+ dollars to buy an original car I couldn't drive it!. Tried to sit in a dimension-perfect replica once and simply could not get behind the wheel and into any comfortable position to operate it, these cars are not for tall drivers

This one;

Ferrari 250 GTO Berlinetta Scaglietti and Lake Como.

I had the pleasure of loving a car like that..

This one
I don't want to end up with skinny legs
like some TD members

A close second would be to recreate this drive, tunes an all..




Apart from the ending naturally

This is honestly a hard question....

A Shelby Cobra and an Austin Martin DB6 at first thought...
