A car from each decade - what would you choose? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

Pointless post time ...

I was wondering the other day, if someone said I could have any car I liked but the restriction was I could only choose one car from each decade, what would I have?

For the 90s it'd have to be the McLaren F1. The 60s is already difficult because I'd have to pick between an AC Cobra or an E-type.

What would you choose?

Cheers,
Kingsley.

50s - Lotus Elite - easy choice, only the d type and Citroen DS get close
60s - Ford GT40 - much harder lots of other nice stuff
70s - Lancia Stratos - fairly easy choice
80s - 205 t16 - very hard choice, BNR32, 959, 288GTO etc are all in there
90s - eb 110 - hard choice
00s - Gallardo - stunning
10s - dunno yet!

From the look of it it's either supercars or rally cars really...

60s shelby cobra
70s camaro s
80s lancia delta integrale turbo
90s xj220
00s 34 gtr or reventon

kingsley · 13th March 2012, 08:20 PM

I worshipped the GT40 as a kid, it is an awesome car, though I didn't have it on my shortlist here because I already had the McLaren F1 on there and I thought they were too similar.

60s - still stuck between AC Cobra 427 or E-type
70s - muscle car (from the very early 70s before the oil crisis and emissions regs ruined them)
80s - stuck between an 80s V8 Vantage or a 959
90s - McLaren F1
00s - F458 Spyder (can't remember when it came out - maybe the F430 Spyder if the 458 was after 2009)

Cheers,
Kingsley.
