First time I saw it I though 'TVR' (headlights are certainly ripped from TVR).

I thought the DB9 looked good until I saw one in the flesh, I thought it was too long and bloated, however due to the way the ends taper it isn't very evident in photos. The Vantage is better (imho!).

I would like to see the Alfa 8C Competizione produced, that would make it into this list!

There are so many stunning cars out there. Some favourites are the Ford GT40 (the real one, not the GT), Lola T70, Jaguar E-Type, C-Type and D-Type, XJ13, the Ferrari P3/4 is right up there, the 250 GT SWB too...

My all-time favourite, though, on looks, performance, pedigree, historical interest and more is the AC Cobra 427. I want a replica of one of those so badly! Not a subtle motor car but a fantastic machine with a proper folklore.

I love my little Imp to pieces but it's not beautiful! Purposeful, yes.

^^ Seen the current edition of Octane? It has an article about a $300,000 restoration of a Miura in it and boy is it gorgeous! Perhaps slightly less so for not having a patina of originality about it but at least its owner loves it!

Got to agree on the Aston Zagato too. Not much mention of Alfa Romeos in this thread. What about the pre-WW2 8C models - road and GP. Truly beautiful cars and not just skin deep either.

There is a wierd one. Bizzarini GT. I'm not going to post a photo, because for some reason, camera lenses do something that completely wrecks the look of the car.

However, when you see one up close it becomes the most jaw droppingly, achingly beautiful piece of metal you've ever seen. As I say, a weird one!

I would class the Iso Grifo the Bizzarini is based on as more beautiful, the Bizzarini is a bit "squashed" and slab-sided by comparison.

To me the Bizza look's more like a kit car,a bold attempt that failed I'm afraid,as said,slab sided and generally no interesting styling.
It has to be the DB4 Zaggato.
