An Austin Healey as pictured is probably one of the most iconic British cruisers of it's day, it runs along side Jaguar E-types, and they fetch 70-80,000 if they are in perfect condition.

The Alfa Romeo Montreal is just... an Alfa Romeo Montreal.


You could look at new cars all day long, but a properly selected classic to fit your bill will have the same impact and will probably be more enjoyable anyways. You would most likely stand out in a crowd of new Astons without looking like a Chav.
A 432 would be a helluva expensive ride indeed. But looking at OP's current car (an X5, of all things) and his desire for AM exclusively, these A/C less roof-less steel traps of death might be quite far from his comfort zone.

With that said, a Viper is probably pretty far out as well.
