The Omega doesn't make it ! But their are several offerings from GM including the VXR8 and a nice looking Holden Commodore HSV 425BHP.

Lancia Thema 8.32

An interesting choice for No.1.

Rather a lot of Merc, BMW and VW offerings in the list, though. Seen one and you've seen them all, surely?

Was rather surprised by this, too.  ;D http://cars.uk.msn.com/features/photos.aspx?cp-documentid=154365642&page=41

I thought they said it was 40, and I though they were saloon cars? Still, I would. :-*

This is a 1975 Bristol 411 Mk5 factory refitted to current standards.

This service is offered on a few of their older models and is based on the original vehicle so I think :question the black and silver plates can be legally used. :y

Bristol, I looked at the rear of the front wings & had a feeling it might have been  :-/  :-/  :-/

A car has to be made before 1st Jan 1973 to qualify for balck & siler/white plates, so unless the bulk of the chassis had been knocking around for a few years ......  ::)  ::)  ;)

the Maybach "S"? really? typical microsoft, just list the newest, most powerful saloons on offer....terribly sorry old boy, I am a little tired - not one of them would make my list I'm afraid (answers on a postcard for what the "S" stands for)

Lotus Carlton, '67 Chevy Impala V8, '60 Caddy Coupe de Ville, almost any XJ with 8 or more cylinders............M5 i'll give you, Sierra Cossie, oh and that new Aston 4-dr  :y

That is gorgeous. :-*

..and a reminder how well proportioned a car can look without huge alloys and 30 profile tyres.

black plates allowable up to 1st Jan 1973 - so "N" is not legal
