I occasionally dream of trying to pick up one of these...

Beautiful ;--)
Yes, FrankenSpider is a treat to drive. I take it out pretty frequently, but the Freelander gets the bulk of daily grind use nowadays. For a while, it was my only car.
Ginettas are lovely. I've never seen one in the US ... just like the TVRs from about 1972 onwards, I see them only in the UK when I'm visiting.
Were I to have my druthers, what I'd like to have the chance to enjoy is a Lancia Fulvia Coupe. I've wanted one of those since I was 8 years old... There are some in the US but you have to hunt for them.
