Serious Motors
What kind of cars are there that give off all the right vibes, i.e. the kind of cars that could only be owned by an enthusiast, not a poser or somebody who bought it by mistake. The kind of cars that you see and there is nothing you can fault, for example TT's are quite nice, reasonably quick but no proper petrol head would be seen dead in one. Ferraris are wonderful but I always think it either a lottery winner or a complete poser apart from a few models.
Few examples, would think of a few more but my six year old is planning to take his Sti out and if I leave it to him there will be plastic all over the road.

Early M5's
Any kind of Noble

I think any car can fall into the wrong hands 
But, I'll agree with a skyline gtr, as I own one 
Early 5 turbo as mentioned above, Lancia Delta maybe.

TVR. I would think only an enthusiast buys one, even in spite of the looks and performance, as, unfortunately, their reputation for poor reliability precedes them.
Shame really, lovely motors IMO.
