Timeless, ageless, sexiest design ever. There is not one flaw - perfectly balanced aesthetically from any and every angle. Simply indisputable.

Remember that compared to most of the modern exotics the E-Type was a mass produced volume seller and was quite affordable.

So if you read the OP and thread title you'll see the point; which your post has totally missed.

I agree 100%. I love the GT, but the DB9 Volante in the flesh truly is a spectacularly beautiful car.

So if you want to beat em, ya gotta join em, and being manual makes the time even more credible.

Yeap had the back end of one in my avatar for a while, awesome story behind the car too.

Problem with these topics that compare different decades is that building and material methods where so different it makes it also impossible.

Its hard to judge what is a good design, if time is anything to go by then the 911 would have to be up there.

Never really looked at the Zonda before. Must say there is something very 'Homer' about it!

I have only one rule. One car per person.

Here is mine. Aston martin v12 vantage
Lagonda in the late 1930's;'s was quite a motor car but I think the Jag xk120 from the mid 40's was certainly for it's day the best looking , Personally I would onsell the jags I have to own a 120 (or a d type)

Even if i didn't own it myself, i'd be doing a google search and posting one of these. I reckon the 69 Mach 1 is the horn. Gddyup!
