I love that Ferrari, but I think I prefer the Fiat Dino Spyder.

As this is a BMW forum, only right that the gorgeous 507 is included, though California has my heart

Very difficult choice, I can think of many fabulous 2 seat roadsters but the 1969 Maserati Ghibli Spyder is pretty damn perfect in my eyes :wub:

For a BMW it is quite pretty but think the 250 GTO spider may have been on the wall of the design office!
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

Yep, I'll give you that one (apart from the kermit green paintwork) and the Jensen back lights. Although the prettiest of them all, the 250 Spyder, had MGB rear lights! :lol:

Most of the cars posted are from the 1960s. I thought that may be the case. I think it was a time where 'form over function' was King and designers had free reign as there was a lot of money about, so knew they would sell them.

The most beautiful car ever designed 'to me' was the Muira...and they only did one official roadster... did it translate though..

And a gentleman in my village had a D-type (got to be considered) and a ferrari 196sp .. the sound was 'Bellissimo'
