The ten most aesthetically pleasing vehicles ever built

[shrub]

Arguing over a beer with a mate last night about whether a Spitfire was more beautiful than an E Type Jag, and near came to blows, then came whether the Bevel Drive Ducati 900SS was better looking than the 916 or the 1969 Bonneville... We eventually agreed a list that looked something like this, and in no order:

Concorde
MkV Spitfire
Ducati 900SS Bevel
Ducati 916
Triumph Bonneville circa 1969 (for purity and simplicty)
Mk1 E Type Jaguar
1970 Dodge Challenger
Ferrari Dino
Bugatti Type 57
Brough Superior

Of course we were wrong in most cases, and I will change my mind about 20 times by the time I post this thread...

This video showcases some of the most intriguing concept cars of the past. The Buick "Y-job" was the first concept car. It was also the first

Bell UH-1 Iroquois

Oh yeah.


I don't get it with the Spitfire. It's always listed as a classic beauty, but it doesn't look that good to me. I way prefer the Hurricane. But maybe I'm odd because I prefer the looks of the original Allison engined Birdcage canopy Mustang over the later models. (And most U.S. radial engined Navy fighters over the Spitfire, too).

When it comes to Jaguar cars, I always liked the lines of the XK120. We passed one a couple weeks back coming souf from d'Auckland. Still looks good to my eyes.
