    1. Alfa Romeo 8C Spyder.

    Everything else is a long way behind, but I guess cars like the DB9 or XK aren't that bad.

    Such a lover of the past. I for one, don't particularilly like the 8C and I [personally find the XK abhorrent. I don't think I could pick the top cars after 200 though - too hard to narrow it down.

    Yes... I agree on the last part. Too many rubbish cars have been launched since then...
