Absolutely agree! Definitely one of the coolest vans ever.

Except that, once you've driven one, it totally destroys the myth.
I know. I work where it's for sale. I'm on Jules driving duty every time we bring it around and I think you can guess why :)
The Jules Rolls-Royce of the 1981 Dakar. Probably the only Rolls that actually sounds like something good. And because it's totally badass.
The Miura. It was one of the first (if not the first) modern Supercars. And just look at the hype it still causes today in the classic car world. And at its time, it did pretty good in sales (compared to the Ghibli, its closest competitor even though with different approaches, 764 for approx. 1,200 Ghiblis).
Tough choice. I'm all for simple design, I particularly like the 1953s 356s ones, the 718 RSK's or even the Ferrari Daytona's, but my favorite are the Panhard CD 64 ones.
They're very decent in performance. And they're really awesome in terms of handling. A true go-kart.
A Lancia Fulvia 3 1.3 S. The dogleg gearbox! The raw sound of the V4! Pulling 1st through 3th to 5.000 rpm and you'be going... 45mph when you get in 4th gear.
Any Venturi built. Even the official dealer of the time doesn't want to hear a thing about them they sucked so much.
How about a Show and Display registration? I'm sure it would look good next to your CLK-GTR.
It actually was in Barcelona, Spain. I work for the selling company, and we went around the Placa d'Espaniya with the "Jules" as we call it, a burgundy Continental R and I was in a Green Delage.
Purple rocks. Especially when it's Mr. Cadbury's Aston-Martin Inter.
The road-spec 205 T16. Under 4500rpm, it's like a 205 GTI on steroids, then you get kicked in the butt when the turbo discharges. Just make sure you're going straight.
Say hello to the 80's French design. For those who don't know, it's a BX 4TC, the Group B rally version of the Citröen BX, in its street version. Totally awesome and very rare.
Now that I just came across this baby, I'm getting onto the KPGC-10 bandwagon. This ride has always been my favorite Skyline and it will remain this way.
The 550 Maranello would get my choice. We got a 2002 Tour de France blue with beige interior for sale at work, what a beauty!
A mean-looking machine, even more impressive in real life. My own pic.
Before the Aston, there was the Fiat Barchetta. Def. one of the coolest around, still.
Maybe I'm being patriotic, but the Clio Williams is a must have. Oh, and maybe a BX 4TC and a PikesPeak-spec 405 could have been included in the starting list. Ugly, under-estimated but freaking fast... can't get more Jalop' than those.
