Most older cars qualify. In part it is due to age (individual cars develop a personality over time due to modifications and plain old quirks, so that two examples that were identical when new will have become distinctly different after a couple of decades or more) and nostalgia (20 years ago, 240s and 740s seemed a bit dull and soulless compared to 122s and 140s----that is no longer the case) and part is due to design characteristics. More than 25 years ago, cars were designed by humans, with little or no use of computers. The shape of the body was arrived at by sculpting clay over a full size wooden framework. The dash was done the same way. Particularly on European cars, surprisingly few individuals were involved in the design process, so their vision comes through more clearly. To me, the cars that most clearly express the ideas of their designer are the most soulful. Bugatti (not the modern abominations) is at the top of the list, by far, followed by Ferraris of the classic era. Many quite ordinary cars qualify too---most of the cars mentioned below qualify, and plenty of others. All the old (and not so old) sports cars--just about anything British (especially Lotus, Aston, TVR and other smaller makes) French or Italian, many German cars (all Porsches up to and including the 944, some BMWs, Mercedes to the mid 80s, air cooled VWs) and sedans too---RWD Volvos, possibly the 850 as well (it needs a little more time to be sure) Saabs up to and including the original 900, Morris Minor and of course the original Mini. I disagree about the new Mini, because while it is by all accounts great fun to drive, it is too big and heavy by comparison with the Issigonis original, and is nowhere near as clearly focused. I find the interior to be greatly overstyled---none of the functional simplicity of the original. Even some American cars---Dart/Valiant, Studebaker, Checker, most of the Muscle cars---very little if any after the mid 70s though. Japanese cars have long been regarded as soulless, and while this is not entirely true (see Nissans old enough to be called Datsun, Toyota FJ 40 Land Cruiser, 1st Gen RX7 and a few others) many of them are pretty dull and uninspiring. Most new cars are all about image over substance and will not age gracefully. I guess we'll have to keep the old Volvos (and other vintage stuff) going as long as possible. There is hope---quite a few 544s are still around, entirely usable in modern conditions, after 40+ years, and 240s and 740s appear to be at least as durable if properly maintained.
