    The classic Bentley Speed 6 was certainly sporty, but I reckon the r-type Continental beats it for looks…

    And, at its launch in early 50s, it was claimed to be the fastest 4-seater in the world. I think that classifies it as “sporty”? By today’s standards it is pretty poor performance-wise: 0-60 in around 13 secs. Interesting, though, is the kerbweight – at 1660kg is is the same weight as todays Mini Countryman. Just shows how much extra stuff gets bunged into cars today
