Far from beautiful, but one of the most iconic car designs comes from the same manufacturer of the Xj220, take a guess?

I believe that car was one of the leading desing of it's time ( totally agree with you Klint) however there are car much much much more beautiful, for exemple the Bentley Continental GT:thumb:

Thanks for posting, talk about car desings is a wide an interesting subject;)

Jaguar XKE

My favorite thus far is the Miura SV. Was lucky enough to witness a stunning example while at Sant'Agata.

The Miura is stunning in design, the first mid engined road car, I believe (?).

Karman your spot on, it's the Jaguar XKE or E-Type, one of the most iconic car designs ever according to many motoring journalists, even made it to number one of Jeremy Clarksons Top 100 cars of the 1900s. I have to agree with them after seeing one in person, quite recently. :0:

Miura has always been my favourite, it is sooo sexy and curvy. I also loved how the car came in crazy colours like lime green, but I want one in orange. Though I hear they can be pretty hairy when driving on/near the limit due to the midmounted engine. Anyone can confirm this, perhaps have stories/experiences driving a Miura?

Reading the trip to Lamborghini story, good work krm! I've read a story where Lamborghini used to have a 'supercar junkyard' where all the old test cars, prototypes etc used sit there and rust away... :cry:

But I think it has been cleaned up now.

Well, road-going versions of the Porsche 550 Spyder and Ford GT40 were produced before the Miura was released.

Hehe, I was expecting the E-Type to turn up as number 1, just by watching the title of the movie. :)

I guess most people who know Jeremy's taste in cars would know that.

the 2CV is a Citroën not a Renault ;)
but still ugly, that's why it's called the Ugly Duckling here in Europe :)

that was my first car, and a cabriolet as well :alig:

the roadhandling is another story, but she never tipped in a corner and due to the wheel size i managed couple of winters on summertires :hihi:

maybe it's the fault of this car, that i am such an Audi fanatic :bow:

Karman,

I got a story about this car, in the picture.

I got a friend who's many years my elder and he had one of these back in the early 90s, I didn't think much of it untill he took me out for a spin in it, and bejesus!!!! It was FAST!

Later on I needed to have a peak under the bonnet to see what was under there, and there it was, a Maserati engine, I can't remember the specifications or anything, but I recall seeing Maserati being printed on the intake manifold. Not the most attractive car but god damn was it unbelievable.

Never underestimate the ugly ducklings out there. :bow:

[Klint]

For those of you who are interested abit more about the ugly duckling, Karman posted then here's a little more information about that particular car I mentioned in an earlier post, I guess it's far rarer than I ever thought, at least in the UK, let alone RHD. :bigeyes:
