When it comes to buying beautiful cars, we’re inundated with a whole host of stunning choices. From the rare vintages to the modern powerhouses, there’s something to suit every possible taste. We KNOW you love your cars, gentlemen – and we love them too – so we’ve perused the various re-sellers, auctions and sites to bring you 10 of the most beautiful cars to buy right now.
2015 McLaren 650S Coupé
A vehicle of unparalleled British superiority, the McLaren 659s Coupé is beyond beautiful, and for under £200,000, it’s a steal.
1967 Ford Mustang Convertible
A stunning piece of American automotive heritage, the Ford Mustang is an international icon. This car, which goes to auction later this week, belongs to none other than Charles Dance – so there’s a great story to go along with it.
1925 Bugatti Type 35a
One of the most famous Grand Prix racers of old, the Bugatti Type 35a is instantly recognisable. One of only 5 remaining, fully matching numbered cars, this is a vehicle for the true gentleman petrolhead.
2012 Ferrari 458 Spider
The Ferrari 458 Spider is one of the most beautiful contemporary Ferrari’s out there – not to mention an absolute beast to drive. Finding one in as good a condition as this is hard, and we love it.
1972 Jaguar E-Type
No British vehicle is more iconic than the Jaguar E-Type, and for obvious reason too. This particular S3 V12 roadster is beyond rare, and simply stunning.
2014 Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4
The Aventador instantly garnered a breathtaking following when it was first released in 2011, and this one is the creme de la creme, and it outrageous condition too.
1955 Mercedes-Benz 300SL ‘Gullwing’ Coupé
By far the most famous Mercedes-Benz, finding one in mint condition is becoming harder and harder, but of course, Bonhams is here to save the day with this beautiful 1955 model.
Aston Martin One-77
The most exclusive Aston Martin ever produced, the One-77 is about as hard to get your hands on as an unloving golden retriever. If it’s exclusivity you want, you’ll find it with this vehicle.
1967 Bizzarrini GT Strada 5300
A bizzarre vehicle, and a brand that many will never have heard of, Bizzarrini is the culmination of pure Italian passion. Founded by former Ferrari and Alpha Romeo engineer Giotto Bizzarini, these vehicles are incredibly rare and therefore much sought after.
1991 Ferrari F40
What better car to end on than the overtly iconic Ferrari F40. Very rare, very popular and very beautiful, it can be yours for just shy of £1 million.
