Older cars usually bring up a lot of good memories, while people who find ways to keep older cars on the road deserve nothing but respect. In today's video we are taking a look at some of the most exciting new cars that rock amazing vintage looks. Which of these is your top pick?

The Ares Modena and the Donkervoorst👍

My top 2 were the vontervoort and the Weissman!!!

[@lupedozier762]

Sorry, the donkervoot and weismann

[@adoreslaurel]

Hope the Healey got rack and pinion instead of that chest crushing spear that probably killed off the Healey 3000.

Car No 1, the return of the Frog Face.

[@automotiveterritory]

Not a fan of the design?

[@P.Galore]

The last thing you want to hear after spending this kind of money is "What is that?"...Pass on all of these vanity projects.

[@louisbabycos106]

I think their is a market for these factory built restomods . I don't as a rule like EVs but that second car the roadster AWD with limited slip differential and 800 PLUS HP and a 1000 PLUS FT LBS TORQUE looks awesome.

[@allensaunders449]

Of course they are vanity projects nothing to wrong with that. The owners don't care if everyone knows what they are.

[@automotiveterritory]

It's sometimes hard to understand the wealthy folk. But for some unique models may be more valuable than Lambos and Ferraris.

[@raychambers3646]

Caterham = k Ter Ram .

What happened to the jaguar sports coup?

[@automotiveterritory]

What do you mean?

[@askaniuk]

Alpha motors.... what are your thoughts? As they seem to generate CGI models but nothing more?

[@automotiveterritory]

There were some media outlets asking the same question. But Alpha Motors have actually brought some prototypes to autoshows.

[@williammeeker2150]

The A[tera is an affordable sports car

Weissmann please

@@automotiveterritory the Healy is nice as is the Ares (I particularly like that, it’s multimedia screen is retractable , something all car manufacturers should seriously, consider)… But there is something extra about the Weismann especially if it still has BMW underpinnings

I'm with you on this one. I find Weissmann especially appealing too.

@@automotiveterritory The commentator says it's based on "the original AUSTNI HEALEY.....it's like a verbal typo....easy to do when typing, pretty weird if it's spoken.

[@chandrachurniyogi8394]

the Ares concept of modernized retro vehicles of the past ain't working . . . the modified design of the original are too outrageous & EV credentials just don't blend with the customer . . . retro classics should never ever be EV . . . or else what's a classic . . . a retro classic means resurrecting one to it's original specifications . . . do you find any original here??? for e.g. the Hurtan Grand Albaycin . . . in all fairness what on earth is this thing??? even MAZDA probably thinkin . . . something on wheels, who built it??? if they knew it's based on a MAZDA MX-5 . . .

[@automotiveterritory]

What if original motors are not available anymore? I think that EV powertrain is a better option than an LS swap.

[@stevenfernando1842]

Awful styling

[@automotiveterritory]

Which of the models are you referring to?

[@TheCronan]

The Kamm, Morgan and Caterham are the only ones not gaudy and full of psuedo-nostalgic kitsch. Wierd mix of vaporware and concepts.

[@automotiveterritory]

Are there any models that you can suggest adding to this list?

[@karlhulme8014]

Absolutely agree with you. There’s some truly awful cars here with the exception of the ones you mentioned. The Hurtan for example , they’ve managed to take a popular little Mazda sports car and ruin it.

[@michaelhansen8598]

No interest in electric cars

It's the future though
