Let's see what 'lovely looking motors' you guys can come up with. Anything retro, that looks 'lovely' in your eyes. Here's my effort, absolutely love the colour of this and the look is so 70s its untrue. I'm going to be looking into one of these in a lot more! ![](http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/alUAAOSwPc9WvfiT/$_57.JPG) ![](http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/P-8AAOSw~OVWvfia/$_57.JPG) ![](http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/YpsAAOSwUuFWvfii/$_57.JPG) What ya got?

The car in the 1st post looks like a CROWN Coupe? Never knew they made anything like it though, I like the lines of it. Edit - It is a Toyota CROWN Coupe! some more pictures of it here when it was for sale Edit 2 - got carried away looking for 2 door CROWNs and forgot the purpose of the thread, for me either this ![XC Falcon](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/11/FFCobra_XC.jpg/800px-FFCobra_XC.jpg) Or this: ![Hey Charger!](http://www.valiant.org/speed/72_bathurst_chivas_e49a.jpg)

Yep the EXP was amazing.. The frt you get when trying to make a mk3 Escort look as different as possible whilst retaining the frt structure. Funny to that it was compared to the '50's Thunderbird as their last previous effort as a 2-seater "sporty". Rather like my '81 Prelude as a rather confused styling effort. Still a little surprised my old Accord now gets such appreciative comments after years of seeming invisibility. ![http://carphotos.cardomain.com/images/0019/66/20/19106602.JPG](http://carphotos.cardomain.com/images/0019/66/20/19106602.JPG)

I must admit 79cord when you posted this:- ![](http://carphotos.cardomain.com/images/0019/66/20/19106602.JPG) My Accord, another pseudo Golf competitor when new, though some might not see it that way since it was half a size bigger & looked more like a fattened up Scirocco, but in many markets was similar price or less with more comfort & equipment & a heavier more refined & solid feel to comfort those likely to be downsizing from much larger cars {especially in the USA}, a surprisingly close match dynamically {especially for Japan at the time} with none of the Golfs harsh ride & twitchy handling that father hated in his new '75 Golf 1500LS (he'd had Alfa Guilia Super before that which was much more comfortable/predictable for same w/base), had spun his Golf once or twice & was most unimpressed when frt strut towers deformed when struts bottomed out & Dealer bashed them down again. Eventually he could stand it no longer & went the opposite extreme: Citroen CX! Mum loved the versatility of the Golfs 5-door body, compact & practical & much faster & more solid than her Renault 4, but also spun it once on mountain roads when dad rotated the tyres frt/rr without checking tyre pressures afterwards. Shame Honda was too busy building as many as they could for the US market to bother with a "GTI" & kept enlarging it for American appetites before introducing Integra to take its place. Like the Beetle the Golf had more solid build quality than many European competitors but finally had practicality & handling. in my bit of babble about not getting Golfs I thought wow, what a great looking car. I still think that every time you post a pic of it!

The VW Fridolin, I don't know why, just been a firm favourite for a long time. ![](http://i574.photobucket.com/albums/ss183/mexicansteve/STEPHEN/Pictures/Cars_%20Vans_VW%20stuff/0312vwt_01zVolkswagen_FridolinFront_Driver_Side.jpg)

Not quite a 'car' but I've always loved the original Land Rover Forward Controls. Probably not to everyone's taste, but I always thought they had very clean lines, and we're a very good looking truck compared to some of its contemporaries. ![](https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5063/5595438116_8cd71a1106_b.jpg) There's also this, a Warwick GT350. They were a small volume car builder in the late 50's/early 60's, mainly based on TR4 (one of the TR's anyways) however they did a few powered by the Buick 215 V8 (before it was bought by Rover) for going racing with. I did a lot of fabrication work on the car pictured which was pretty much a full rebuild on a new chassis, and converting it back to V8 power from the Triumph four it had fitted. It raced in the Fordwater Trophy at the 2009 Goodwood Revival ![](http://www.inopian.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Warwick-GT350-1960-1962-by-smevcars.jpg)
