With the weather as it has been recently I would probably say something like an Austin Healey 3000.

Not so sure now, but in my younger days I always loved the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray :-*  - the seventies version with the bulging wheel arches.

i have 3 years and 1 day to get one of these......

 I promised myself i would have one before i am 40.......

a 3.2 carrera, 80's model, in black with the G50 box and the whaletail, Fusch alloys, leather and RHD.....

strangely enough i have never driven one, or even sat in one, i just love the look of it and the noise they make

My mate's mum had an immaculate white TR4A  :-* :-* when I was a lad. Think we all shed a tear when she sold that, her included. She restored it.
