I'm going to be the third vote for Morgan 3-wheeler. In the fighter plane motif of course. Three is a party, as they say.

At $51K, a low mile red/tan 360 coupe would have me wondering how much I could sell a kidney for.

That seems like a screaming good deal to me. I was shocked when I saw the price.
In reply to dculberson:
I am SURE that these are worth less since it is a 4 seater and has that tall roof line at the C pillar. I would rock it for sure.
well, if you're gonna go to BAT...

Because I've driven one of those, and they suck with a mighty wind?

Euro version like the one linked with carbs and no emissions?

It was being imported, so it was semi-compliant when I drove it. However, Euro versions of those items won't change the fact that it's just not that good of a car. The back seat is less than pointless - it makes an F-body look like a Maybach. Which is fine if you don't need a back seat, except that jamming the stupid pointless thing back there compromised front seat area so badly that the driving position is awful even by older Ferrari standards. Plus, it was a mechanical nightmare, and when I drove it, the car was less than 10 years old.
Face it, the mid-late '70s were mostly a bad time for cars. With this thing you are getting all the bad parts of the Ferrari experience with very few of the good parts. You're spending $24,000 to get 10% of what $50,000 would buy you.

I’d heard horror stories of how offset the pedals were in all 308 series cars. When I jumped in one I slid my feet down, I moved my legs over to the right and found the pedals. I said to the owner they were off set, but not as bad as I thought. Check again he said. I thought I was on the gas and brakes, no I was on the brake and clutch. The gas was hidden behind the center console almost on the center line of the car. I’ve no idea how you drive one.
Back to the original Spyker in this thread. Never driven one, but I’ve been round the block in the right hand seat. I don’t care if it’s fugly, the interior is just so amazing I could live with a lot of faults, and the noise made my tingly

Same here. I basically bought my BMW bike to ride and my Triumph to look at lol.

+1, the bonus is at a cars n coffee, you'd likely have the only spyker there.

Not in Louisville. There is one that I've seen at CnC multiple times, oddly enough.
I got the chance to sit in one at the Saab Owner's Convention a couple of years ago when Victor Muller came and arranged for a Spyker to come as well. The interior is spectacular. Everything feels as good as it looks. I didn't get to drive it, but when it left... the noises... jeebus.
I wish I had been able to do more than sit in the one @ mecum.....but I agree with you, the interiors and look are incredible.
