Entire thread and no pics.
Just recalling some of my favourite Nissan for now.

The Nissan Sunny series is a winner in history all over the world.
I think that the Sunny B11 1982 still has a good look. It was a very popular car in Trinidad in the 1980s because it was assembled locally with half the features missing which made it affordable.




The Sunny B201 (Datsun 120Y) 1973 is timeless.











Then they made a version in the South Africa factory in 1978-79 and called the Datsun 160z which was the Sports Coupé version. Holy Hot Wheels Smokes!

[Rovin]

^^^ yes JEEP was mentioned on page 1 , its like their trademark look kinda like porsche with d crappo eye headlights

Is Eleanor iconic?

it look good in d movie yea but if u watch any sort of american car building shows u wud hear they say everybody copy it so much it got played out to death like so many other famous movie\tv show cars

d name was actually copyrighted so others cant call their copy eleanor too

https://www.hagerty.com/media/entertain ... for-build/

IMO i prefer d original gone in 60 seconds movie by far over d 2000 remake ...

Austin Cambridge , Trinidad

The Nissan B-13/14/15 of its day...This car had a very advanced feature. If you have ever driven a car with a carburetor, you know you have to press down on the gas and turn the key. The leaden footed among us usually flood the carb and shut down the car and the ones with petite tootsies burn out the spark plugs by not pressing hard enough

The Cambridge had a feature where by placing the key in the 'On' position, a fuel pump, operated by battery power, would fill the carburetor dashpots, making the start smooth and uncomplicated like a fuel-injected car.

As long as the A31 fan boys not in here...I good

Vector W8 isn't timeless. It looks like it came from the future.

It’s really unfortunate the true successor to the W8, not that Malaysian Proton/Lamborghini Diablo based car, never progressed beyond the conceptual design stage.

Bigger shame: I was looking for the car Jerry Weigert promised would bring the company back to auto making, then found this:

Didn't know he died last year. I guess this means hopes of even licensing is dead.

This

When I think timeless I make a distinction from the truly classic makes. To me timeless is akin to an older make of vehicle that even aged doesn’t look out of place in between most current showroom offerings.

Ford Capri, pretty much any year.

Assuming timeless means remains beautiful over time:

1. Any Aston Martin (personal preference is the DBS Superleggera)
2. Any Land Rover, even the old boxy ones (personal preference for looks is the Velar)
3. Any Miata (the last one is the prettiest)
4. Any Jag (personal preference is the F-Type coupe)
5. Any Mustang (personal preference is the latest one.. 6th gen i think)
5b. The Golf GTI Mk II

Honorable mentions, because they're just beautiful, but i'd never drive one:

6. Any lambo really, but that's too ostentatious for me
7. The 64 E-Type
8. Merc AMG GT S
9. Maserati Quattroporte
10. Model X
11. The Lada (timeless!); ok no srsly, the Fiat 500.


Edit1: spelling
Edit2: forgot the Golf
