1980 BMW M1 3.5 Coupe E26

The history of the E26 BMW M1 is a tragic one. First, Lamborghini put the entire project in jeopardy, then the botched Group 4 homologation and the second oil crisis shocked everyone.

1977 Ferrari 512BB

This very Ferrari 512BB appeared on a poster to advertise its 188mph top speed. Can it still promise such thrills today? Robert Coucher drives the star of many a bedroom wall.

BARRY HAYDEN
‘I loved the fact that the Ferrari 512BB's owner bought the actual car from the poster he had on his wall as a boy. I would need considerably more space for my choice: a Bell 222A helicopter, complete with a lifesize Jan-Michael Vincent.' Barry's superb photography accompanies Robert Coucher’s Ferrari 512BB.

1971 Alfa Romeo Montreal

Sublime and bizarre, enticing and unsettling, Montreal captivates the eyes, evoking admiration as well as criticism, residing somewhere between a paradoxical masterpiece and a missed opportunity. In this creation, nothing is ordinary, neither the appearance, nor the birth, nor the character.

2012 Bertone Aston Martin Rapide Jet 2+2

The Aston Martin Rapide Jet 2+2 could have given Bertone a new lease of life. Instead, it was the last car the great Italian design house ever created. Ten years on, we drive it.
