I think you're missing a big one in the "Sex on Wheels" category...
MY vote definitely goes to the C-type Jaguar... Someone did a
sculpture that pushed the Jag's lines just a skosh... Amazing.
A wet dream in bronze!
Of course I also think Prewar Blower Bentleys in Lemans trim and the
"Blue Train Bentley" could be described a "Sex on Wheels"...
Sometimes I get kinky...
OOOOH! whip me, you great brute!!!!
