The xj220 i would say is more rounded and curvy. But it is something we agree on its a fantastic looking car.

 

But Herbie always won all the races
Curvy = Sportier
Hope you don't like your women SQUARE :rofl:

 

if im honest i think i prefer the front end of an f, boot lid of a tf, exhaust pipes of tf, dnt like the lights to much on a tf, also i prefer the side vents on an f. just my opinion tho

 

I will allow for the fact that the tf has a better bootlid...

 

i want a tf bootlid with a trophy spolier on top on mine

 

regbella on ebay does the trophy spoiler,do a search for regbella and send him a message,he's quoted me £85 including postage for a trophy spoiler,his name is stu

 

It's never a good time to say you don't like the E-Type! :guns:

Seriously though, Carol and I have discussed this many times and we feel that a subtle combination of cuves and lines in proportion gives the best aesthetics.

For the record we both feel that the TF is an improvement on an already excellent design.

The F is let down by an overly "soft" look at the front. The headlights are too dominant and the whole effect is that of a slightly too squat and fat "face". IMO both the Midget and MGB have better fronts. They have a better balance of proportions which was restored by MG with the facelift to the TF.

The modern look towards fat and angular is definately a step backwards in car design in general...........

 

It's never a good time to say you don't like the E-Type! :guns:

well I don't think it looks bad (aside from the V12 which looks like a fat pig and the 2+2 which is far too upright) but it's a clear case of form not following function in that the narrow track leads to poor handling but at the time it only had horrid cart sprung cottage industry Ferraris to contend with so it didn't matter too much

 

But other then that curvy F with abingdon alloys stop on. I think tf design process reachd its peak with the abingdon special edition fs.

 

Pictures being worth a thousand words and all that..curvy

vs Angular

A clear cut case I think you'll agree...

So long as you ignore the image below...move on nothing to see!

 

Ah the reventon i wondered how long that would take to come up lol.

 

Personally i like the curves best. Nothing better than curves and nothing worse than square flat.

I believe God creates all his finest works with curves and round edges. The Earth, Girls, a barrel aged round oak tree round glass of brandy with a curved Cuban cigar and an MGF. Heaven on Earth Oh i forgot burgers.

Lucifer on the other hand creats all his works square and flat. Polititians, Gatso's, cycle boxes at junctions, my misses and MGTF's

So to sum it up, Curve = good. Square = not good!

I think thats all the hard scientific evidence we need.

 

Is this a good time to say that I have never liked the e-type? Too curvy, bonnet is too long and distance between wheels is too narrow for the body,

with terrible ground clearance,worked in a garage on an industrial estate that put up speed humps while we had one in the workshop.when it came to time to go,the car wouldnt clear the humps.we loaded it on the recovery truck to get it out....

I think theres examples of sporty curved and angular that work,also many that dont!

 

What you on about. That VeeDubbleya looks far mre sporty than them strange curvy things.

Seriously though, I think we could both trawl the internet and find some truly awful curvey AND angular cars.

I actually like the butch (Fat?) angular, almost evil look of some of the modern cars. Look more purposeful and planted.

I "admire" the design of a lot of the older cars, but I prefer mdern stuff.

As I said, the best cars incorporate both angles and curves to their best effect.

So what are you saying? What an utterly meaningless, glib statement!

I think we can all agree that this post is quite pointless - styling is almost entirely subjective, and no two people will agree completely on what they like!

I think angular cars date more and much quicker, curvy ones don't seem to so much and tend to end up in the classic bracket.

 

I too do like prefer the TF bootlid however, just not enough to buy a whole car

.

 

give me the e-type anyday to the 220

my dream cars

i come over all funny when i see a nice lotus esprit or exige,thats why i keep a box of tisues handy

 

1) Pretty car.

2) Lego Technic.

 

:rofl:

Sorry I couldn't resist!

 

come off it, have you ever heard of a sexy angular woman?!!!!

 

Exactly! You can have this:

Or this:

I mean seriously! Even I'd hit that!

 

If we came into money then this is our ideal blend of curve and line......

Astonishingly similar to the MGTF in look don't you think?

Looks very similar to TF lights and wheels on that beastie

 

Don't really get the curves V angles thing - some cars are nice some are not and it all depends on what you like - we are all different:lol:

I like the look of the F but may buy a TF in the future, you never know:dunno:

In fact I am getting quite drawn towards a TF in X power grey of late!

 

The perfect combination of curve and line....just more within our price range

I agree whole heartedly and with no bias at all as you'll see below.

I think the MGF has a more classic look than the TF and even though its softer in the face its a stunning looker but doesn't encourage people to shift when you're coming up behind them, whilst the coupe has people moving out of the way, I love them both so am now running both as I couldn't part with either.

oh yes and Curves for me definately not angles.

 

The new Lambo's are great examples of angular cars, they are beautiful looking things and no way will they ever look dated, a guy i know has just restored a lancia integrale to a brand new state, again very angular and even being over 20 years old it looks amazing in this day and age and will turn some heads !

 

This thread has really degenerated to a 'train spot'. "I like this car" really seems rather pointless to me.

Cock.

Is that a new name for me? Or just your tourette's playing up again :lol:

 

I'll let you decide

Brian.

 

look at that the one in white has a place to put your pint what an exclent mod o yes and any one can see that the tf is the beter looking car

 

:lol: The "one in white" is Jennifer Lopez! And that very excellent pint stand is her notorious big bum! :lol:

Oh & the F is better! :=p: :lol:

 

as regards the question I think that standard F is not a patch on a TF but F trophy is definitely the ultimate in the whole series subtly aggressive really the dogs wotsits
