There’s no better feeling than owning a classic sought-after car. Not only are they super stylish but can be a long-term asset that will increase in value as the years progress. Some classic cars are iconic too which makes them even cooler. We’ve all marveled at the cars in movies like Bullitt, James Bond, and of course Herbie.
Best Price Car Sales who are based in Southampton has listed a few classic cars you simply have to drive before you die. We hope you like our choice.
Jaguar E-Type
This car has been described as “the most beautiful car ever made” by Enzo Ferrari. It’s been said widely in the industry that if you are choosing the ultimate classic car, the E-Type Jaguar would definitely be in your top 5 choices to pick from. Manufactured in the ’60s, this car can achieve speeds of up to 150 mph and the braking was second to none of the rest of the cars in this era.
Lamborghini Miura
This is another world-renowned classic car, described by many in the industry as the sexiest car ever built. The Lamborghini Miura was built in 1966 and at the time was considered to be a mid-engine speedster designed specifically to take on the mighty Ferrari. Probably best to contact the Lamborghini Club or specialist website forums to get hold of one or contact the auction houses, namely Sotheby’s or Gooding & Co.
Porsche 911
Who hasn’t heard of the Porsche 911? This two-door high-performance rear-engined sports car started its life in late 1964 in Stuttgart, Germany. It had a flat-six engine and a torsion bar suspension. Over the years, it’s been continuously enhanced and given the technological input to keep it up there with the very best. But at the time of its conception, there weren’t many cars of this era that could hold a candle to this German marvel. Just to give this classic car even more street cred, in a 1999 poll, it was voted fifth in the Car of the Century. It is one-two in the top five that has constantly remained in production.
Aston Martin DB5
As soon as this make and model is muttered in any conversation or read about, the immediate association is always with James Bond, with its introduction in the movie Goldfinger in 1964. This car is iconic and loved throughout the world of driving and cinematic notoriety. The Aston Martin DB5 is classed as a grand tourer that was in production between 1963 to 1965.
