Exactly $1,000,000. All prices in Australian dollars, hence some possible confusion on price for international readers.

I had to have the 2000GT but to do so meant discarding a number of interesting things like Citroen SM convertibles. I tried to stay away from "obvious" choices like Porsches and Ferraris and my bias is probably showing in the number of Mazdas and French cars I've chosen. More prosaic things like MGBs are for sentimental reasons as is the VN SS (in white, thanks).

I'd come up with a totally different list tomorrow.
