i agree with almost all of your choices. some of those cars, despite their old ages, are still very very desirable today IMO.

I'd agree with most of that list, although there would be others I'd include, such as the F40, the first road car to go above 200mph!

i\d go with the BMW 507, the bugatti is a magnificent car engineering wise, but it's approach is flawed
meaning you set very simple targets, say 1000hp and 250mph+ and you construct backwards, which creates far more trouble from an engineering design point of view, as opposed to say the mclaren F1 which was engineering led, and the targets were lightweight and efficient, and you ended up with less power but great speed and handling
i would henceforth remove the veyron or and put the 507

Great list!

But I do agree with Will who said the F40 should have been on the list.

proud to see the Comfort brand (MB) on that list
