Here in the US as far as English cars I always liked the Triumph TR-6 and the V8 versions of the Sunbeam Tiger and MGB. The Tiger used the Ford 260 V8 and I think the MGB used the Buick/Rover aluminum V8.
I do love boating but the hassles that are inherent in it, as a salt water boater and pushing me to an outboard boat if I stay with it. I just cannot do it to myself again, to maintain an I/O here. I'll keep this one as long as it makes sense but after that, big decision time. We have a little Suzuki portable OB for one of our Walker Bays and its just such a pleasure. Minimal maintenance, no headaches.
I like the new Four Winns HD 200 outboard, I will probably check it out at the Nassau County boat show, over at the Coliseum, former site of the hallowed Mitchel Air Force Base (Hempstead Plains Long Island NY).

Every time I go over there, its as if you listen in the distance you can still hear the ghosts of Pratt & Whitney 2800s warming up in the distance.....
