It breaks the heart
Good deals with these members
The blued Ansonia's are quite willowy looking. If form follows function, top spot has to go to the Bsa Lincoln Jeffries.

Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder, of course, but for me, there has been nothing better than the early modern BSA designs, like the CADET and CADET MAJOR. Too many of the most recent designs are really ugly; others have features which detract from, rather than enhance, their appearance. For me, if it looks right, it probably is right!

How do you guys up load pic here ?
My vote would also go for the Mk1 Airsporter with the nice one piece tapered barrel (a nice tidy example of which I am fortunate to own a couple) Have to say I have a soft spot for the Centenary with the elongated stock - my project Mk1 will have some sympathetic mods to bring it up to speed along with a nice one off made stock (once my health/weather etc allows me to get around to doing it that is) with elongated stock similar to the Centenary.
At the end of the day, whatever 'floats your boat' should tick your boxes - if it be an old BSA or Wobbley, the older rifles just seem to have that indefinable something that makes them all that special, also, something that was made all those years ago that still brings much pleasure and good service to it's keeper, is a legacy to those in the past that made them so well with craftsmanship and dedication, there, said my bit! (just my opinion!)
