Growing up, it was the Ford GT40, early models that had the 289 V8. It took the 427 to beat Ferrari at Lemans, but the 289 cars were prettier. Anything from the 1964-1965 time frame. I had a 16 mm movie of Ford racing at Lemans, showing the 1-2-3 finishes. Nothing made out of fibreglass in later years counted, it had to be one of the original prototypes or production models.

Those were pretty much racing cars, so for a road car, it was the early Jaguar E type, series 1, but with the 4.2 engine. The 3.8 was nice and it was the original, but it had the Moss box and some overheating issues.
