I really like that Trident Clipper. I've never seen or heard of anything like it before.
That DBS is hot too. That Panhard PL17 made me chuckle a little bit.

Very nice cars... generally I can pick favorites from your lists, but I though every car was interesting...

The story goes that the Trident Clipper was a design that was originally intended to be a new TVR, but TVR were having financial trouble at the time and couldn't afford to put it into production. One of TVR's dealers stepped in, bought the rights to the design, and had it built under the Trident name.

The engine is a Ford V8, either a 260 or a 289, but I can't remember which.
