My classic (decidedly a non-sports car) is a 1968.5 Citroën DS-21 Pallas in white with black leather interior named Eponine. She is in slightly rough shape right now. A resto is definitely in order. I just haven't had the time to figure out the logistics of it.

I bought Eponine in the mid-1990s at 17. She was first car, and will be my last car.

Though I suppose my daily driver is getting on in years now too, and it is a bona fide sports car (2001 Mazda Miata SE, the one in BRG with a Nardi wood steering wheel and shift knob, tan leather seats, and tan canvas-look vinyl top). I'd actually love to replace it, but nothing else at any price feels like as much of a driver's car (including "NC" generation Miatas) except for the Lotus Elise. The thing that has kept me from buying an Elise is the difficulty of ingress/egress. The sills are huge, and I'm just too tall to do it gracefully. I have tried. I've test-driven Elises several times with intent to buy.

As for vintage audio equipment, not really. Unless 1990s-era separate magnet, Tulip-waveguide Tannoy Dual Concentrics count.

I agree theres nothing like a 1st generation Miata compared to the newer Miata's .Always wanted to have one as a daily driver or commute. the lotus Elise is also a fantastic car,specially for me I like the first generation car. But when the 1st time a friend of mine gave me a ride,ingress /egress was difficult for me. And in our humid/hot weather its an impractical propositon. Your DS -21 is definitely your last and only car for sentimental reasons. Among the Citroen's the one I like the most was the SM model. But very expensive to restore and maintain.

A '65 Porsche 356 Euro C Cab.....I have owned her slightly longer than my system.....a different kind of music:cool:

Love to have a 356 someday. I hope one day I will have one. But Im still enjoying my 89 930. Saw pictures of your system they're classic already ( specially your D70).

Any more vintage/classic sports car owners in this forum? Specially vintage/classic Ferrari's & Porsche's ?
