phil_lihp Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 You can't really say most Ford/Vauxhall/VW stuff was classy per-se, but BL and Austin Rover knew their stuff. If you're on a budget, a 100 Kensington or Knightsbridge is dead classy. Well, compared to a Corsa Merit anyway. Christine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNWeigh Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 I'm probably the least classy person , so not sure of the difference between classy and flash. Here are some cars I think of as classyThe only Crewemobile I prefer as a Rolls rather than Bentley, those Chinese Eyes just work better with the brash grille. I could go on , and on...But as the question what's the classiest,nit has to be; djimbob, aerodynamically_challenged, mercrocker and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Call me odd, but I happen to think these are a classy prospect. Not that I'll ever own one! I'm scrolling down the page thinking I hope nobody's picked a Tatra, so I can look all clever and sophisticated but you beat me to it. However, whilst the 603 would be my choice as a daily I think the T87 has more road presence and class.

Junkman Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 No! I think he will, however, be along with some kind of (true) Imperial before long. However, he will undoubtedly also lambast the white-walls.... Further proof that Mercrocker and I are not the same person is that he is wrong.I agree that anyone having his car shod with whitewalls has automatically proven that he has no class,but on the other hand nothing originating in Trumpistan ever had, not could possibly ever have class.Don't get me wrong, they made a shitload of brilliant stuff. But class is something else.A bit like anything posted hitherto in this thread. The only class that chav chod has is working class at best. Hence I take the liberty to win this thread with ease.

vulgalour Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 Strong words, Herr Junkman, for what is a gouche slab of 70s fad wrapped in one of the least classy colours ever seen. Pop-up headlights are not classy. NorfolkNWeigh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vin Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Most of the stuff posted here could be in 'Classic & Sportscar'. i.e. is not Autoshite. You didn't get any of this nonsense when I first started posting here... Classiest car ever (Autoshite edition) is something like this... Fiat 130 saloon. Not the coupe, because this is Autoshite. But, even this vehicle is not the classiest car ever, because ultimately it can grace the pages of 'Classic & Sportscar' without so much as a bye or leave, so as such is not Autoshite... It's replacement though could be considered 'classiest car ever' in the world of Autoshite...The Fiat 132 'Bellini'. Not just a Fiat 132, but the 'Bellini'. THE replacement for the 130 saloon...Yeah, that's it, a whole car with a special edition. Autoshite CLASS. You should never forget the Autoshite ethos. The unusual, the unexpected, the underdog...

MorrisItalSLX Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 The Humber Super Snipe/Imperial gets my vote And a close second to the Mercedes 280TE But I believe Junkman absolutely nailed it with his entry One for the “If I win the lottery garage” mercrocker, Vantman, Paul Dupart and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC Torana Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Classiest car ever has to be an Armstrong-Siddeley Star Sapphire. But this is Autosh!te, so I simply have to say the WB Holden Statesman DeVille: The grille, wheels and 6-light styling nailed it in a way the earlier Kingswood-based and later Commodore-based Statesmans didn't quite achieve. And the more upmarket Caprice was somehow a little too much.But for sheer good looks, road presence and 100%-Australian credibility, there was little that came even near it.

MorrisItalSLX Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 The WB Statesman! Why didn't I think of that! Although, those alloys were only on the Caprice, the DeVille got hubcaps (as depicted in the top picture) But for full Autoshite points you need lacquer peel and missing trim: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/HOLDEN-S2-WB-STATESMAN-CAPRICE-OCT-1984-V8-AUTO-REG-SEP-17-409-000kms/172961835913?hash=item2845542b89:g:smcAAOSwne9ZkpM9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Reverend Bluejeans Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Lagondas were Arab chariots when new and are not on the same plane as a dark coloured MPW Corniche - slim bumpered FHC of course. A Shadow will not do but a Camargue just might. A fifties Bentley Continental isn’t as good as a 1963 Lincoln of the same title but.......The only problem with the 1990’s Continental is that Alan Clark had one.

Walter White Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Considered Bristol 405, Bentley R type Continental and Gordon Keeble but when I looked at photos there was always one view of those cars that just wasn't classy enough IMO so I choose the Aston Martin V8. puddlethumper, timolloyd, egg and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
