There is a common belief in the car world that a person's favorite car for life will be coolest car introduced when they were around 12 or 13 years old (for me that's a 3rd Gen RX-7, fwiw).

Maybe. But I did all the gear work for these guys for about twenty years

(absolutely shitty website, no idea why they changed it, is that the new thing ? Replace a functioning, nice website with a piece of crap ?)

and have to say, if you ever get to stand next to a C-Type, it is the car I'd choose over all others if I could only have one. They don't show up that great in photos but in real life, they knock your socks off.

Or a UOP Shadow, but the C you could maybe almost drive around in

1972 BRM v-12 is okay too. The proportions and shapes on that are sexy. Or a Mark IV Ford ... or ... better not get greedy, just stick with the C
