What's your Ideal Signature?

[Saltire]

I was reading lotusflasherman's signature on a post today and mulling over the cars it lists - an interesting selection. So, my question is this: assume you can list up to four vehicles in your signature. One has to be an Elan (existing or desired). What would the other three be - and you have to be able to make a convincing case for one of them as a daily driver.

I'll start the ball rolling:

M100 Elan (currently owned)
Alfasud 1.5 Ti Green Cloverleaf
Lancia Fulvia Coupe 1.6HF Lusso
VW Golf R 5 door hatch

Shoot me down

Surprised to see my fleet generating a topic... Always fancied a Lancia Stratos with Dino V6 since I saw one in action in the 70's....
I'm a believer in 'horses for courses'... I don't mention that I've also got a Wheelhome Millenium Galaxy, a 2 person motorcarravan based on a 2.8 V6 Ford Galaxy - probably the quickest motorcaravan ever built. www.wheelhome.info/millennium_galaxy

Out of interest .. why the picture of the Embassy Hill? I went to Lyndhurst, Graham''s home near Elstree, August Bank Holiday '74 to fix his electricity supply that he'd overloaded. He was preparing the Lola T370''s in a big wooden shed of a garage.... rather different to the McLarena set up!

Ooh, Stratos, yes please. Sadly well out of my price range these days. I would also have liked either of the other recipients of that wonderful little engine, both also way beyond my means

Back in our younger days, my wife was great friends with Janet Allen, who later became Janet Brise. Tony was one of Graham's drivers when he set up Embassy Hill, and was widely tipped as a future F1 world champion. Sadly,it wasn't to be. Returning from a test session at Paul Ricard that year, Graham crashed the plane short of the Elstree runway in poor weather and everyone died. It later emerged that there were questions over the maintenance status and UK registration of the aircraft.

The photo is of Tony in the car during testing.

Well by coincidence I spotted an Embassy Hill car today at the Sherborne Castle Classic Car Show. Great show, worth visiting next year if you are reasonably close to Dorset.

50 miles, 90 minutes, according to Google Maps. Definitely worth a visit. I didn't know there were any GH2s still in existence.

Back on topic, I'm happy to say I have my ideal fleet....

M100 S2 - for when its sunny
Turbo Esprit - for showing off
Range Rover Supercharged - for everything really, an awesome car that can do anything and everything
Suzuki Jimny - obviously the weak link, but ideal in the Somerset lanes and for the 4 mile runs we have to make to get back to civilisation.
