For me, these are second only to a 246GT 'Dino' in the 'Most Beautiful Car In The World' stakes.
I love those lines, the way the curvature of the bottom of the windscreen is carried via the side windows up into the roofline, those mirrors on pillare, those hefty but beautifully-sculpted rear flanks....and just about the most GORGEOUS set of wheels.
Utter car porn....just complete and utter car porn.

Stunning cars - I once agreed to buy a set of those wheels outside of ebay for ÂŁ120 when they were listed really badly and 99p start. Sadly in the day between that been agreed and me going to pick them up a couple of people in the know obviously spotted them and they were hovering around the grand mark lol.

Here is probably not the right place to ask but did anyone ever make a kit car look-a-like of that? It's just the shape looks quite glassfibre friendly to me and I reckon if I were ever to sink a wedge of cash and spare time into a kit I would want it to end up looking just like that.

They are absolutely stunning. I can see a lot of the front design in the 8C.

Loveliness indeed, I can't help but think that the designer of the Stryker C8 had one of these on his desktop though

Now that is a place I could spend a LOT of time! Utterly, fabulously, achingly, classically beautiful. Want. James
