My vote has gone to Vespa T5's Sud TI. Reason being it was a close contest between his Sud and my Sprint so I wish him well in the final

As much as I love the 'bertie' my vote goes to SB's Brera this year !!

My vote goes to Cul... a man who looked was a true petrolhead.

RIP

Wow, really tough one this year.

All the cars are credits to their owners Best of luck everyone!

The GTA and the GTV are both great looking cars, but the 147GTA, owned by Cul gets my vote by the narrowest of margins!

Here's mine representing the GTV/Spider!

The car in question is a 1999 (V) 3.0 v6 24v with a factory aerokit.

Since buying her I've resprayed it in the original Vela Blue, refurbished the wheels, fitted pirellis all round, and fitted a few tasteful bits and pieces (i.e autodelta J10 splitter)

It's a daily driver, not a trophy piece, and I certainly open her up occasionally!

(see the sneakily attached video, Click here )

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!! Great video!!!!

It's a real toughie - beauts all of them. But I've gone for Vespa's Sud.

that GTV sounds amazing!
and i voted but its a secret.
