1977 Panther 6. "6" for obvious ressons. Produced in Weybridge, England, with its twin turbo 8.2 L (500 cu in) engine. Claimed top speed of over 200 mph.

List price of $96,000 (Ā£40,000) in 1977. Equivalent to around $530,000 in 2025

As a young child, I would watch a Lotus Europa glide past my house every late afternoon. Its low, wedge-shaped profile and mid-engine made it look like something from another world at the time.

It was the first car I ever truly wanted. After endless pestering, my mother finally bought me one. A toy version -- it was the closest I was ever going to get to owing one at the time.

I always liked the elegant look of a 1956 Cadillac Fleetwood sedan. I found that it cost over $6000 when new, while a 1956 Cadillac Series 75 Fleetwood limousine cost between $9,746 to $9,960.
