I have always said that if you put the most modern exotic super car in front of an old '61 Jag E-Type convertible with the luggage rack, i would dismiss it for a Fiat Panda. Bugatti's, Ferrari's, Lamborghini's in front of a Jaguar E-Type are nonexistent for me.

Lovely old car.

I have an old friend who was renowned for his expertise. He's old now but I'm sure he still has the low mileage, one owner, convertible in the garage. Always loved that car.

It's stunning except that the steering wheel is on the wrong side.
Seriously though that really is the sleekest, most at aesthetically pleasing car design.
