Attach a picture of your choice if you like.
I know I would have trouble selecting just 1 above another;
but sometimes tough decisions just have to be made.

My choice would be Citroen DS21. In that era many thought it was many years ahead of other cars in engineering. For example they were one of the 1st cars with front wheel drive, perhaps the first with disc brakes. a wonderful air suspension that allowed driver to select height off the road for the car and numerous other features. Citroen did not do well in this country. I thought people did not understand the car. They were also plagued with poor dealer support -- mainly mechanics that were not always well trained in repairing these cars that were wildly different from anything sold here. I always wanted to have one but it became hard to find mechanics that were good at repairing them and parts were often hard to find. In France where they were built they seemed to be the car of choice by dignitaries from President on down. Citroen (merged with other French companies) and are still built but they are mostly like other cars today -- no longer sticking their necks out with extremely unusual design.

When I hit the lottery, I would buy a Morgan. Doesn't matter what year as I just love their design. We had a '54 Vette back in the 1960s and it was a looker, but the Morgan would be my choice.

Having driven around Lime Rock many times, I think the right-hand up-hill turn leading to the back straight would be a blast in the new Vette (if you don’t overcook it).

Ever since trying to keep up with a Maclaren 12C in my XK8 on a drive back from Flagstaff to Phoenix, that is the car I’d like to own.

Easy answer. A 67 Mercedes 300 alloy gullwing. A bit out of my range, as the last one (only 20 made) was sold at auction for about 4 1/2 million.

A picture is worth a thousand words, as proven on this forum. Lister Corvette.

With the Moss crash gearbox or, maybe, updated? I had two ‘69s, otc and 2+2, that I should have kept.
