I loved my Honda S2000 - had two of them. Spine tingling when revved between 7.5 & 9k. Quick too.

Alfa GTV 6, this one had a 3.0 engine from a 75 fitted and was a great car but it was the lines that did it for me.

That is absolutely beautiful. It looks mint.

I had one for several years and loved it too. I find myself looking at Alex Jupe's classified pages regularly, and dreaming.

How did the SZ compare to it on the road?

i have also driven a 300BHP supercharged Aerial Atom, and i am fortunate enough to see allot of them as they are built just down the road from where i live, and i have to say I have never driven anything like it, they are unbelievable cars, and absolutely nothing can touch them for that sort of money....... i will own one at some time, but as for cars i have owned i will upload some pictures later. if you get the chance to take one around a track you will not be disappointed...

cheers Kev.

As a driving experience there is no comparison between the SZ and a sorted GTV 6 which was the main logic behind selling it. I could not see a time where I would take the GTV 6 when I had an SZ.

If Alex Jupes silver GTV ever comes up I will be on the list of those bidding. I love the shape and lines, I think it is a beautiful car and the more you look at it the more you realise how complex it is.

I always wanted a GTV6. Alex Jupe was working with Chris Snowdon when they did my 116 :D

And my overall favorite so far is this I didn't have the skyline for very long as was forced to sell to purchase a new house, but this Impreza is a special on, its called a WR1, a stunning car in all ways.

My most memorable has to be the my QP Sport GT. Did 60k miles in her and was properly a good all round vehicle and put the maserati bug properly in my veins. My previous forays in the 32 and 42 weren't as pleasant down to all the issues I had.

For me was buying my first V12 the 456 which was quite a brave move in many peoples minds but she did what we wanted.
I could never get rid of my 12 year old 4200 cc and love her even more with her stripes on.
She just gets better and better.

Clive it amazes me what people will pay for classic British cars when you see what Italian Super Cars you can get.
Being a mechanic for over 30 years I know what I would have for sure.
