You could buy this lovely example for ~ £25k- probably for less:

Several nice ones around, but I doubt the wife will be able to get in and out.
Should have chased these kind of cars a decade ago, or longer…

While you might be cool in your RUF SCR, you’ll never be as cool as a 23 year old Cliff Richard leaning against his new Corvette Stingray…

I remember watching Charlie Agg racing a McLaren M8F with a reputed 1000bhp at Brands Hatch back in the '80's.

The noise of the 8.1 litre Chevrolet V8 engine when it started up in the paddock ~ 3 ft away from me was unforgettable !

Nothing Rick Pilchard has done could ever be regarded as 'cool' ...

I cannot believe people are talking about a staged shot of Mr Cheese, as 'cool' when there's is this pic to look at.....2 x V16 BRMs, the Thinwall Special and an A type Connaught.....now that is f##king cool....
