If YOU Had To Pick A VINTAGE Car To Add To YOUR Collection, What Would It Be?

One of my favorite web-based television shows is a little diddy put together in what appears to be the southern U.S. Typically, it features some pretty stellar cinematography and some vintage metal.

In the latest episode we see a late model Jaguar E-Type drop-trop coupe.

Its owner goes on to say that more or less he has created a bucket list of cars he admired as a youth and those are the ones he goes after.

That said, we're just a bit curious: If YOU had to pick a vintage car to add to your collection, what would it be?


David Paddison didn't grow up in a car-loving family—he developed his passion for cars with his friends with whom he grew up racing slot cars before graduating into full-sized versions. Today he enjoys collecting classic cars and still looks to the ones he lusted after in his youth as a bucket list of must-haves. His beautiful 1974 Jaguar E-Type is one of those cars. Petrolicious had the chance to spend some time with David and his very special E-Type, one of the last sixty made.

Perhaps I am unoriginal but I'd LOVE to get an original E-Type V12 Coupe.

Or, as mentioned above a Ferrari 512BBi.

There are SO many great choices, it's hard to go wrong...

I've heard the E-Type at WOT in the late 1990s and ever since then I've wanted a V12 Jag. What can I say?

Not exactly a proper vintage car but for me it would be an Eagle E-Type.

The Ferrari is the perfect car, no doubt.

It just seems to be so out of touch w/ reality at $7 - 15MM per a piece...
