1970's Opel GT...mmmmm

Maserati 3200 GT

Might get flamed but Hyundai Genesis is a handsome beast.

How about a Lancia Montecarlo, however they all disolved into rusty heaps so few left now.

I have a soft spot for a tidy Opel Manta!

Oh, and them too! This could end up being a long list! The Stratos is gorgeous of course, but normal folks couldn't afford one! There are superb affordable kits out there though, and most of them Alfa V6 powered, fabulous looking things.

I always had a soft spot for these after seeing one in the flesh when I was young.

eughhh!
that definately doesnt look better than a coupe.

Fiat X1/9 fantastic car and the roof comes off.Not a coupe though

fiat x1/9 was a great little car.

another soft spor for the Opel Manta GT, mine was lovely, shame it was rotton as a pair. had it crushed (although wish i had saved it now)

mk1 escorts are lovely and i miss mine.
4200gt :-)

If either the 3200/4200 GT is goignt o be put forward it must be the 3200 with those rear headlights...

i think the 3200 gt is a slightly better looking car but if you get the grand sport options on the 4200gt it looks stunning and the 4200 drives much better.

Agree Sam. Nearly equal to the coupe ... only the A series though.

Absolutely must be 3200 Maserati with Boomerang tail lights!!

clicky

I'm in love with this car!! Hope the Coupe's not listening

Why have I never seen one of these before?

..which is the whole point of the thread, not which one drives the best

Having got rid of my coupe and thought "I'll get something else to do up" I have now conceded that for me it has to be yet another Fiat Coupe!!
I looked at all sorts of things but the coupe still wins it for me, even after vowing i wouldn't have another one!!

Jap cars handle/drive better but for the money there is nothing that looks as good let alone as an overall package that can compete. Always think that Scoobys, Imprezas, even sylines look too max powery now and too try hard.

Lancia Delta Integrale £5k plus for a good un and does also have that uniqueness and rarity about it just in a muscular rather than pretty way.

Alfa GTV Cup again £5k (ok maybe £4k) motor and does imho look on a par.

200sx is a good all round car if modified subtley, but still ugly compared to the coup...

fk it I'm starting another thread on sub £5k cars....

If we're talking retro - then a 1970s Celica Mk1 is my choice.

My Mk2 Escort RS2000 when its had its full restoration completed

loving your leather interior leckypete, who did it ? Rich

Vote for the later Citroen DS. I had one as my wedding car!

Citroen DS23 Pallas and Citroen SM and even the new C6 is a good looking car ...and Alpine Renault GTA.

and this is probably the best of the lot

Though not with those wheels, please. The 240z was by far the best looking of the Zs - up to and incuding the 350 - and I still regret selling mine...

I also would give my left testicle to own one of these looking as good as this, also goes for the 128 Abarth.

And my favourite non Italian car and the only car I'd replace my coop with is this , these things just make me stare whenever I see one, a real marmite car, but I love them, I'll own one again soon.

This topic truly demonstrates that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
