That is a gorgeous car. I don't think I have ever seen one. The first photo looks very familiar like many other sportscars but the lines in the side view are very unique and awesome. So smooth. btw love all those toggle switches in the center console. Looks like a 60's rocket ship :)

Indeed, beautiful car, this Lamborghini looks like an old Jaguar E-Type except for the headlights.

That's a classic looking Ferrari, I bet she costs a pretty penny as well, thanks mate cheers.

On a last auction, the price was going north for this beauty, up to $US 2,000,000.

That's a lot of cash my friend, I think it would take me about 300 years to save that, Lol, cheers mate.

We have to sell some Steemmonster cards... ;-)
