Ferrari 308 GTB / 308 GTS

What is your favorite car of all time?

One of the longest-lived of all Ferraris, the 308 GTB arrived in 1975 with - shock, horror - part-glassfibre bodywork. Its transverse mid-mounted four-cam V8 gave 250bhp and 0-60mph in 6.5sec.Despite glassfibre's lightness and durability, customers forced a change to steel panels in 1977, knocking 4mph off the top speed. The targa-topped GTS version arrived in 1978. Bosch fuel injection from 1981 killed power for the sake of emissions (214bhp, 148mph/238kmh), but four valves per cylinder (Quattrovalvole) in 1983 brought it back up, while an extra269cc in the bodily-identical 328 GTB of 1985 took the stunning Pininfarina flyer to over 160mph (257kmh) and a well-deserved 13-year lifespan.

Ferrari F40 1980s, 1990s

What is your favorite car of all time?

Built to celebrate 40 years of Ferrari cars, the F40 was also created to upstage the Porsche 959 and to be the world's fastest production car. In essence, it was a GTO with different body panels, stripped of carpets and interior door panels, and it even had sliding Plexiglas windows to save weight. The engine was a short-stroke variation of the 3-litre quattrovalvole V8 with twin 1H1 turbochargers, producing a massive 471bhp with 426lb/ft torque. In this form it was claimed to top 201mph/325km/h and reach 60mph (100km/h) in under four seconds. For those looking for even more performance, a factory kit with larger turbochargers and different camshafts could add a further 200bhp.

What is your favourite classic motorbike of all time?

Ariel FH Huntmaster Motorcycle 1954

Ariel FH Huntmaster

What is your favourite classic motorbike of all time?

The Ariel Huntmaster 650cc twin was introduced for 1954 with BSA engine in the new Ariel frame and finish. The BSA motor may have been the beginning of the erosion of marque identity, but Bert Hopwood's already reliable single-cam 650 A10 engine, only superficially modified, combined with the Ariel duplex frame, and Ariel standards of finish, produced a well loved machine. A claimed 35bhp @ 5600rpm gave the FH a top speed of around 100mph and for a 410lb machine the economy was good too, returning as high as 70mpg solo and 55mpg with a chair attached.

Ariel Red Hunter

Based on a 1933 Val Page design, the Red Hunter was sold in 348cc and 500cc form throughout the 1930s, scoring many successes in trials and scrambles.

The 500 with its more "square" dimensioned engine than the 350 and a frame that was no heavier, was proportionally the better performer.

By the 1970s the name Tiger had been part of the British motor cycling scene for four decades and had become synonymous with engineering quality, strong performance and character. Growing to 750cc in 1973, this single-carb stablemate of the Bonneville continued to sell well despite strong competition from the Japanese multis.

Daytona T100R

What is your favourite motorcycle of all time?

A 500cc unit twin, the Triumph Daytona motor bike was launched in 1967 following the company's win at the prestigious Florida race venue. By far the quickest sportster of the period, it used a push-rod engine but would easily rev into double figures.

Thunderbird 6T

What is your favourite motorcycle of all time?

The year 1963 saw a major revision to the Triumph range, when unit construction was adopted for the 649cc models. The Thunderbird was the most docile, fitted with a single carburettor. Alone among the big twins, it retained the nacelle headlamp, but its bathtub treatment was much abbreviated.

Vauxhall Viscount

What is your favourite car of all time?

The new PC range of six-cylinder models was launched in October 1965 and as with the last of the PB models, these were powered by the Chevrolet engine.

Victor FC 101 Series

What is your favourite car of all time?

The third-generation Victor and VX4/90, known officially as the 101 Series, appeared in October 1964 with the same basic mechanical equipment, floorpans and running ear as before, but with a smoother body style. Competent, if not exciting, the FC models went on to sell in large quantities before finally being made obsolete in 1967. Total production for the Victor FC saloon and estate was 219,814 cars. In addition, 13,449 VX4/90 FCs were produced.

Vauxhall Viva HA 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966

Viva HA

What is your favourite car of all time?

The all-new Viva was introduced in September 1963, and gave Vauxhall a small family car to sell in the important Min/Anglia/Imp/Herald class. Ultra conventional, with front-engine/rear-drive the model was distinctive for its squarish, boxy shape, which resulted in a roomy car with ample boot space. Power came from a completely new 1,057cc capacity overhead valve design engine with bore and stroke measurements of 74.3mm x 60.96mm. A big seller for the company, there would be a Viva in the Vauxhall range for the next two decades.

Vauxhall Victor FB VX4/90 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964

Victor FB VX4/90

What is your favourite car of all time?

Less than five years after the original Victor, Vauxhall introduced the second generation FB type. This used virtually the same underpan/platform/chassis engineering as before, but was topped by a much smarter and more acceptable body style. In October 1961, the company previewed the first VX4/90 model. The first deliberately sporting Vauxhall since the 30-98, this featured a twin-carb/71bhp version of the standard 1,507cc unit, a four-speed gearbox and front-wheel disc brakes. There was also a more comprehensively equipped facia and a stiffened-up suspension.

Vauxhall Victor F-Type 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961

Victor F-Type

What is your favourite car of all time?

The important all-new FA-type Victor was introduced by Vauxhall in 1957. The car's layout - smaller, lighter and more compact than the E-type Wyvern it replaced was logical enough, but for many observers the quasi-Chevrolet looks, dog-leg screen, heavy sulpting on the flanks and traditional Vauxhall spears on the sides were a little too radical. Priced at £729, the Victor was an interesting and ultimately successful family car. It matched Ford's Consul for performance and handling and quickly became Britain's number one export car.
