Always fancied a Yank convertible.

No Mustangs in the list, but I will stick with Ford and go for the Mercury Monarch.

OK, Iffy, you arrange a meet and I'll be there in the delightful Mercury Sportsman ' woody '

I like the electric brougham as well...wonder what voltage it uses.

I'd have the Mustang ( there was one Iffy:) )

It reminds me of the grown up version of my 1300 Capri.

Derek Minter's Norton, just to park in the front room and look at for the rest of my life.
But,
£209k for a straight AC Ace with a Ford Zephyr engine. Sheeeeesh.
And why has the price of a 4.25 litre Alvis drophead rocketed in the last year or so, when superior Bentleys' prices haven't?
I think there are a lot of people at auctions these days trying to park their money in something they know absolutely nothing about.

If we all had one of these we'd have to grow moustaches and start using Brylcreem.

I have a photo somewhere of my parents in the late 40s / early 50s standing beside my Dad's car which was an imported 4.0 litre Buick. Running boards, freestanding headlamps, the works. Him in a fedora and a long overcoat and my Mother in similarly period clothes. We always used to refer to it as the Bonnie and Clyde picture.

Straight Eight?

My dad won one in a raffle when he was in the RAF based with the yanks in Heidelberg.

You know I just don't know Kevin. My Dad was car daft and had some really unusual things. I'll dig out the photo one day and try to work out what it was. He was nearly as old as I am now when I was born and started driving in the mid 1920s. His father had cars and motor bikes prior to that and there are photos of them somewhere. My father was an excellent driver, never had an accident in his life despite never having passed a test and only having had the most rudimentary lessons from his own father. He had a real feel for cars and could hurl them down a road but never jerky, always smooth. He hated 4 cylinder engines until he was persuaded to have a Volvo 144. Never went back to sixes after that. I think it sort of coincided with the first fuel price hikes in the early 70s.

I would have the Packard 12 Coupe Roadster, and change my name by deed poll to J.J. Gittes.

Any of the last five - not that plenty higher up wouldn't more than qualify - but the Packard is the cheapest isn't it? Very nice. Don't expect it to have oomph tough. Just torque... ah, lovely.

The Dusenburg. It's just so damned elegant.

The Ferret might be tempting for old times' sake (worked on them as a REME apprentice) but if I was paying that kind of dosh I'd want a bit more than 50 mph flat out and ten to the gallon.
