I've read reviews of their cars, and to be honest always fancied one. What I missed however is that they are in NZ.

I'm not sure it needs the navigation etc. but I do like the modern engine in the old body idea. I also quite like the Zetec 105E conversion that is around.
 
This is my top 10,

1) Elise Mk1
2) Elan S3 dhc
3) F40
4) 246 GT Dino
5) 365 GTB/4 Daytona
6) F355 Berlinetta
7) 911 RS 2.7
8) 911 RS 3.6 964
9) 911 GT3 Mk 1
10) Guilia 1600 GTA

Choosen for the way they look and the way they drive.
