Assume the top of your head is already covered by a hard hat?
I sleep with it on! :D
Cheers, Clive.

Mine would be...
The Hawk I already have
The TR6 V8 I already have
A GT40, wouldn’t have to be a real one, a good quality replica would be fine
A De Tomaso Pantera (early one, no wings or arches)
A Rover P6 3.5 (my dad used to have one, always loved them)
Triumph Vitesse convertible
A Suzuki GT750K
BMW K1600 GT
Probably a few more as well, no Ferrari’s or Lamborghini’s.....(well, maybe a Miura just to look at)
A Tesla.....one of the quick ones 😈
Anybody else care to share theirs
B.R.A I already have
Lotus Elan +2S130 I already have
And you mentioned a P6, here's mine :D Not a 3.5 anymore :wink:

It was built by me from a real barn find car that was laid up in 1984. It is a replica of JXC 806D, which along with JXC 808D are the only two works cars built by BL Comps in the 1970's to go circuit racing.
806 ran once in competition at the 'ring in an 84 hour endurance race where it led the field including a team of three works Porsche's by an astonishing 3 laps before retiring with driveline vibration. 806 and 808 both survive, 808 lives in the Cotswolds and 806 is in Australia.
Info is on the net, found by googling P6 racer or the registration numbers.
My car has a 4.6 270 hp, 5 sp, AVO coilovers, Minilites, bespoke wings made by me, lowered, bare metal paint blah blah ........ it's a hoot !
The only P6 race replica on the road.

I never got a GT350 but I had a '65 K code Fastback GT which was absolutely concours stock, I sold it a couple of years ago and it now lives in Spain.
