MY DREAM CAR

I saw one of these beautiful cars driving up the M1 on Bank Holiday Monday and it looked so utterly breathtaking I had to add it here.

I've never owned one, nor have I ever driven one. It is on my list of things to do before I die.

I did do a bit of research before writing this and found one up for auction in America (Gooding and Company), the estimate was 350-450 thousand dollars.
