I want one of these at some point in the future:
I agree, it is definitely enjoyable photographing them. I saved all the photos I took at the bigger car shows I've been to.

The one you posted...is that a roadster? There is a museum show room of European cars in Hyannis, MA and if I remember correctly, that was one of them. Keep that wish alive, when you least expect it, you will find away to be the proud owner of one!

Photographing and starring at them......LOLOL

They used to put so much character in cars back then! now...just crap...nothing that has any character...they all look the same.

I have no idea what that is honestly, but I love it. It is a British car...but I don't know the name...is there a catalog anywhere that lists them with names and specs?

I am, I keep dreaming of finding an abandoned one somewhere, under lots of brush, and bushes...and restore it.

I agree about the lack of character. There are some nice cars but definitely not the same. And have you noticed there are new models that are being copied from the classics (mustangs, chargers and challengers, VW bug, etc.).

Anyway, I looked up the museum and your dream car is pictured. Here is the link: Classic Sports Cars Classic Car Collectors British Sports Cars

Thanks for the link! I LOVE that car! yeah I noticed how they "try" to replicate some of those designs...the Beetle IMO was the only one that looked cute...the others all looks so similar that if you didn't know any better it would be easy to confuse them.

I will check that one out too TKaren.....Thank you...
