Something I thought might be fun for a few weeks. There will be some potato-quality images.

Use whatever criteria you want:

Which is your favourite
Which you think is objectively the best
Which was the most imaginative
Which captured the spirit of the challenge

Definitely the Maserati. If I lived in Europe I definitely would have bought one. Would have made my life a living hell of course, but damn. I would buy one tomorrow if I could regardless of my financial status.

Why does Europe get all of the cool used cars?

 

[AudiMan2011]

The Ferrari had the least problems and wasn't a bucket of scrap like the other 2 (especially the Maserati) despite a rusting subframe.

The Dino was clearly the best car but the Urraco is so good looking. It's tough to call.

 

[Wiegert]

Supercar buyer logic dictates that I should favour the best-looking car that barely worked over the "Ferrari" that sort of worked most of the time, and to ignore Jeremy's lemon.

 

[Murcie_LP640]

The best car there despite it not making it the furthest was the Dino but I'd take the Urraco because bias.

 

[Turtle]

Never saw the episode, but I love the Uracco, so I gotta go with that.

 

[UltimateYosh]

The Dino was the best, But it ain't a real ferrari.

Lambo for me.

 

[GranTurismo guy]

But it ain't a real ferrari.

The only thing not Ferrari about it is the badge.
