I have owned sports and GT cars exclusively, aside from often having a tow car for the race cars as a utility vehicle.
My favourite five would include:
1 - 1958 MGA Twin Cam - one of a run of a couple of thousand cars that had four wheel disc brakes and a DOHC engine putting out 108 bhp @ 6,900 rpm, as opposed to the regular pushrod model with 79 bhp @ 5400 or so. Owned since 1970, raced since 1973. Raced in regular SCCA style classes until 1978, and thereafter a vintage racer.
2 - 1962 MGA Mk 2 coupe - somewhat improved by me with MGB engine and one of 521 cars made.
3 - 1956 MGA rebodied with Fiberfab Jamaican period body, running GM 3.4 V6 and BW T-5 trans (restored 2007)
4 - 1965 Jensen CV8 - one of 500 fiberglass bodied GT cars made immediately before the Jensen Interceptor (which I also own and would have made a 'best 6 cars' list) Four wheel disc brakes, 2375 bhp sixpack big block Chrysler power.
5 - 1969 Lamborghini Islero GT 400 GTS - one of 100 cars made with 350 bhp @7900 rpm V12 engine. Yeah, I know - horrid colour....
