Cool Classic car show - memories!

Just came back from the classic car show here in Lisbon. Grew up and got into cars in the mid-80s, so it had a lot of memories for me! No Countach or Audi Quattro, but...

A load of Ferraris, including 512BBi, Testarossa, Daytona, 246 Dino, 250 GT/L (not GTO )...
Porsche 959 and 2.7 Carrera RS
Rally-winning Mini Cooper
Rally-winning Escort Mk II
Alfa Romeo SZ
Gullwing Mercedes (300SL?)
2 Lamborghini Miuras (whimper) ; a grey SV and a red/gold LP400 (with GOLD WHEELS, Mr Lewis!). Only 700-odd ever made, no wonder they're so rare!
Some real classic Rolls Royces. 1952 Silver Wraith?
1969 Corvette Stingray
69 'Stang Convertible (not as nice as churchwa's though!)
1944 Matchless and sidecar; bunch of other bikes, I don't know many but I recognised the Spandau on one of them!
Aston Martin Lagonda Bulldog (HOW ugly!)
Volvo P1800
Orange Dodge Charger! Yeeeee-hah, Boss Hawg!!
Jag XK120, and a bunch of E-types
Mk I Capri, and WTF was next to it? A Capri Coupe, or 2-door saloon? Very odd.
What looked like a 1950s Stirling Moss car - Allard?

For me though the real show-stopper was a 1929 Packard Super 8, shining like it had just come out of the factory. Huge, luxurious, mean, utterly awesome. It sucked me in to Chicago and the Prohibition era, just looking at it. What an icon.
