Heres mine This is my dads 66 Sunbeam Alpine. He's had it for 36 years, me and my sister joke its his oldest child. In fact this photo is from the first time he let me properly drive it (it's that precious to him) I spent my childhood crammed into the back of it at weekends going to shows and helping him on the drive working on it. I'm hoping one day it will be mine

I have a bit of a thing for big block Ford Galaxies, especially wagons, and old F100s. If money were no object and I didn't have to care about fuel consumption I'd be inclined towards a circa 1970 F100 as my daily and a Galaxie wagon or Mercury Colony Park wagon for family cruising.

To be honest, I'd pretty much have that exact one... I don't think I would be fussy about original models either. If it was a rep with a proper 427 big block and done well, I would take it. Mainly because, if it were to actually happen I want to drive the steroid slut to within an inch of its life. Folk get a bit funny when you do that to the originals. An alloy body rep though... mmmmm EDIT: On second thoughts, not that exact one unless the rear wheels got swapped out for deeper dish arch wins...

This is so subjective dependant on other factors. But assuming time and money are limitless I'll see you when the oil runs out.

As Mark posted although for me the colour choice is easy, it'd be the period green having played with a corgi model when I was a kid. My wife is pretty understanding but if we are talking real world money then i'd be pushing my luck with one of these.. in Hawk HF3000 form. However i wouldn't mind having this old girl back in my life, Massage courtesy of Mystery Machine and photoshop.

I'm hoping one day it will be mine I fully sympathise with your dad Neither of my sons have driven the Healey yet and as they fight over who's going to get it after I'm too old (translation : dead) I think I'm going to be buried in it

I'd love a 55 chevy, I know they are probably the Ford Mondeo of the 50's but there is just something about them that makes me want one so bad. Altohugh I wouldn't be adverse to a 56 or 57 either. Something done up nice and tidy like this

I'll have this please, it's a Bentley Continental S3 Mulliner Park Ward coupe. Very rare, very British, and beautifully engineered. I work on this car and it's currently for sale. I have contemplated selling my house and living on the back seat.

A more achievable target than the Bentley, this is my perfect classic. BMW 3.0 CS. As a kid in the early 80s I always looked at E23 and E24 BMWs and said I'm having one of those and as a young man in my 20s I realised that dream. The problem is I bought my 728i and 635i when they were bottom of the market, that horse has well and truly bolted in the 3.0 CS world. Doesn't stop me dreaming though.

'68 Dodge Charger. I've seen one in the flesh when I was over in the States years ago (very early 90's). It was very much dilapidated, still in use at the time as it was parked on a busy street - but a thing of beauty (to me) nonetheless.

There is no judgement here Oh good. There are many cars I want, a few I really really want, and one of these is top of the list. I don't know why, it just is.

Gotta be a '66 Pontiac GTO for me, 389 6pack or 400 4bbl, I'm not fussy! Even a well cloned Tempest or LeMans with a Rat motor will do!
ONE DAY!!!!

Every time I give this question some thought I come back to this, the Rover P5B coupe. don't know why, I own and have always owned VW's, Audi's and Porsches so why I would lust after an old Rover is beyond me.
