My Dream Car

I don’t drive, but if I did, what kind of car would I want?
I’m not one for big loud gas guzzlers or phallic status symbol sports cars. I’d probably settle for a vintage model, the sort of car used in Genevieve, or a Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang car, which was classy even without wings and hovercraft skirting.
I find so many modern cars devoid of style or comfort. Though an obvious safety guard I find passenger seat belts uncomfortably restrictive and often struggle even to get one to work before a journey.
I used to love Doctor Who’s Bessie in the John Pertwee years, a vintage car able to run at speeds Grand Prix drivers would envy. That’s the car for me.

@JohnRoberts the passenger ejector seat would be far too tempting

I do like a lot of modern cars and my dream car is everything I think you will hate
Nissan GTR.
But I do like older cars and my dream older car would be an E type.
Within the realms of possibility I'd like a Triumph Dolomite.

James Bond's underwater Lotus would be cool to have.

that would be great - also a Batmobile and Lady Penelope's Rolls Royce from Thunderbirds

That's a nice weekend show car! Not practical for everyday driving but very cool!

There was a time when I wanted a cherry red Karman Ghia with mag wheels and a t-bar roof. Then I wanted a Fiat X1/9 which I could not possibly fit into. Right now I'm happy with anything that will get me from point a to point b without costing me too much on fuel.

I covet a gorgeous little pink vintage car in a village nearby. It makes me wish I could drive. I also have a fondness for American cars, which is a tad worrying. :)
