It was not until I played GT (something) many years ago that I learned of the 2000GT. Blimmen classical car!

Never seen on in the flesh but I'd love to one day!

yeah i only found out about it in the same way

i did read somewhere that some greedy asshole bought up a lot if not most of them and has had them hidden away for the last 40 years D:

not cool! i fear they would be rusting out as no one will be checking up on them and will never see the light of day! D:

If I had to limit myself to 5, I'd have to take the Cobra, GT40, Miura, Lotus Eleven and the Ferrari 250 GT California Spider
