Is the Ferrari 275GTB the most beautiful car ever made? How do I buy one?

Re the Ferrari, It's up there for sure. But the answer is no.

I n my opinion the roofline of the E-Type coupe is far too high and the screen angle far too steep, especially on the series 3.
Personally I think the E-type roadster is the best looking E-Type though not the best looking car on the road.
I'll need to think a bit more about this as there's a lot of cars that I'd like to own but the best looking is very difficult to decide.

You've got a knack for starting threads with difficult choices Windy Subject to change after I've given more thought, but right up there with the best of 'em...... Lamborghini Miura.

That's a tough one! But my favourite could change in the next 24 hrs........
I can understand to about the E type and a number of Italian exotic sports cars, but the one that springs to mind for me would be the Jaguar XJ series from 1968-1986 - from any angle it looks so right and well proportioned - whether a 4 door saloon or the 2 door XJC coupe. The series 2 facelift from late 1973, didn't detract from the series 1 looks at all, it was every bit as good and the S3 still managed to look elegant after a freshen up of styling by Pininfarina.
But what about the Aston Martin DB5, (Leaving aside the 007 connection) - a beautiful car in its own right surely? Preferable to the chopped off tail DB6 - but the DBS successor was another beauty (preferable with the twin headlamp front a la OHMSS Bond film or Brett Sinclairs in The Persauders).

This 1963 300 SL gets my vote.
