Spacy. Or CH125 to give it its official title.I'd like one of those 80s Hondas too, can't remember the model but they had a pop-up headlight and a digital dash. Very cool.
Here's mine:

Oh god yes. Never gonna go down in value

And just because I can (would like a 44-tonner too but no C category on my licence)
Shite-wise?

Gotta be wunna these. Had a scary dream the other night that I'd clocked a two-tone, black over silver example with 18 American alloys driven by an old codger in a car park right here in Jersey. Must stop eating cheese before I go to bed at night

Here you go then mateyAn early Datsun Stanza, which I would have restored through the most expensive bodyshop I can find and spend thousands of pounds sourcing parts from Japan.
Just because it would be hilarious to do so.

I wonder if an Espada lump would fit into either of those?
I keep hearing a rumour that they will eventually stick 12 pots into these - if they launch this shooting brake and the tax-man finally recognizes my ex-pat status, then I'll plump for one of these:

I can understand why you'd like the first two (I do too), but the Bristol 412 was not one of Zagato's finest moments IMO. I follow one of those home from work on occasion and, while no Bristol is ever going to be a thing of great beauty (well, possibly the very first ones, but then they were really BMWs), the 412 is particularly oddly proportioned.http://www.sportscarmarket.com/img/conte...

I think an Alfa SZ in black would be a fun thing to own - drive up behind someone on the motorway in one of those with headlights blazing and they'd dive for the slow lane.

IMO, when Zagato got it right the result was stunning, eg Flaminia Sport, but when they got it wrong, just look at that roof, it's even worse up, they did it so spectacularly that mere words like ugly or beautiful cannot do justice to it. Put that on top of something built like the Forth Bridge, with a thumping great Chrysler engine to haul it about and you have: ultimate shite.I agree with you about a black SZ,I can understand why you'd like the first two (I do too), but the Bristol 412 was not one of Zagato's finest moments IMO.
