Correct. Guess I didn't take the understatement far enough.
Bugatti Royale. This was supposed to be the crowning achievement of Bugatti, but the depression and the subsequent war pretty much meant that very few crowned heads of Europe took posession, with six built and three sold. 21 feet long, three and a half tons, and a 12.7 liter 300hp naturally aspirated straight eight…
Well, there's only four horsepower between them, so with a Cobb short throw you should be good to go.
I hope I'm not encouraging any flaming here, as I know his Jeremy-ness is a big fan of these, but I just think the GTV is apocalyptically ugly. However, it's ugly in the same way Lucien Freud's models are, in a way that speaks about high art and unconventional beauty. Consequently I want one.

Sometimes people succumb to base desires, but this is above and beyond. The moron is a curious animal. It should be hunted to extinction. Even Peter O'Toole slips up every once in a while though.
Bentley Blower 4.5 Litre. With a Union Jack on the door please.
Because Lamborghini
My uncle told me that until the mid-60s you could get surplus Willys Jeeps in the back pages of Popular Science for $100. Apparently they would come disassembled in crates, with all the parts waterproofed in cosmoline. True? I hope so.
Hands down the best one ever made. Read the backstory on this one; it's fascinating.
@AMGkiller: Great idea- that's what the National Railway Museum in York does - their entire archived collections are put on shelves (behind perspex) and you're free to wander around them.
And by the way, my elephant repellant is working brilliantly. I can't prove it, but you don't see any elephants in my apartment, do you?
@TrojanBMW: Sorry, a step below? The place is like Costco for Mustangs.
