Which THREE cars have you realistically wanted to own, but haven't?

OK, I'll start off, in no particular order:

• 1961 Mk I 'Bugeye' Sprite
• 1963 Studebaker Avanti (round headlamps)
• 1967 Opel GT (baby Corvette)

86ish 300 zx twin turbo 300 hp, 350 & 370's growing on me but still like the last 300's best.

Early 90's pathfinder 3.0v6 5 spd with trail finder I think they called the option package with limited slips front and rear.

Current Altima Coupe is nice or RX8 or Saturn Sky, first 2 were easy 3rd's tougher.

I'll throw in a bike, 2007 25th anniversity Honda VFR800.

Not very exotic, I'd rather have daily drivers or at least weekly.

Porsche 356 speedster or coupe; a replica would almost be better as damage, repairs, and/or insurance wouldn't cause a brain hemorrhage.

'60s Austin Mini... or Mini Cooper.

1st gen Mercury Cougar.

Oh, I could go much further... FC Jeep, 1st or 2nd gen Monte Carlo before they had square headlights, 2nd gen Chevy II, 57 Chevy pickup, 1st gen VW GTi, I like the Opel GTs too, 2CV, Nash Metropolitan, Model T, Model A, '32 Ford.....

The Merc was close, but then i saw an MX-3 and decided to get something gorgeous for a tenth of the cost, that used a third of the fuel and didn't involve signing things with my blood to buy spare parts.
