Hmm, there are more than one I'd add mostly because I would wait for the 
right car to come along.  ( Priced right, clean enough to look good but not 
"afraid to drive it concourse", overlooked but interesting cars with 
personality are 
a plus )

Stag (so I can go from just owning a handful of Brit car parts,  Clean motor 
swap car OK )

Austin 7 / American Bantam ( AKA Chummy / Ruby , Mini model T ) 

Lotus Elan +2  ( It has a nice shape and is vastly over looked as it is too 
often compared to the SWB Elan ) 

Citroen DS ( Might go for a SM if I had the time to deal with the fussy 
systems )

Citroen 2-CV  ( Bauhaus school of design/thirties modern.  The useful 
minimum, Use the best materials possible but only enough to do the job, the 
true 
essence of engineering )

66 Cougar ( Great front end treatment and 1 2 3 turn signals.  These were 
based on the Mustang that everyone is falling over but again vastly overlooked )

73-74 VW 412 Stationwagon (The pinnacle of VW aircooled design, except for 
the horrendous rust problem, I had one for a few years, great car ) pre 74 VW 
Squareback second choice

There might be more but I think that sets the trend. ( well a Lotus 
7/Caterham would not be turned away at the gate :+)
