GT by Citroen Race Car

There's something about this stupidly pretty car that would make The Stig go weak at the knees.
 
Ask the man himself:

The Stig
What cars do you currently own?

"I only own one, a VW Transporter TDi van. I never understood why 'Top Gear' didn't review vans. My Transporter handles incredibly well, its four-wheel drive gets you through in all conditions, including the snow we've had this year, it's plenty fast enough and there's more than enough room for my family and all my sports equipment. What more could you want? Once you get into vans, that's it for life."

Of the cars you've owned, which was your favourite?

"My Toyota Supra [Mk IV, 1992-2002, with three-litre, straight-six twin-turbo engine]. It was berserk fast, with hardened suspension and all the bells and whistles. I think in a track test with a Ferrari it would win. It was incredibly quick and it kept my attention the whole time. Sadly, I wrote it off in the end."

At first I didn't believe it, but after a second thought it makes sense since all he listens to is classical.

I always thought he just walked to a random car and drove off with it since he probably doesn't understand the concept of ownership.
 
Apparently he doesn't like road/super cars.

Wikipedia
Clarkson has written in his newspaper column that the Stig is not permitted to talk because "the opinions of all racing drivers are completely worthless", going on to explain that, due to their familiarity with cars equipped for track racing, they believe any and all road cars are rubbish, even a Lamborghini Gallardo or a Bugatti Veyron. He confirmed this by test driving for himself a BMW 3-series diesel road car converted to a race car, complete with slick tyres, race suspension and brakes, and concluding that driving it was "more exciting and more fun to drive than any supercar".
 
Truth be told The Stig was recruited from some ex-USSR nation of eastern Europe and has still in his possession some exotics of that era.

Presenting here the Moskvich 408 Tourist.

Top speed of an exhilarating 16 mph and an innovative XXL steering wheel to accomodate for lack of "western" hydraulic steering. An outcome of a 9-year development program of top Soviet scientists under custody of gunfire.
