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 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).
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.
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!
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.
