What car would you buy if you had a spare £100k

Post by Steve Payne »

As the heading goes.

They don't have to be new but available.

My short list would be.

Audi R8 V10
Aston Martin DBS
Bentley Continental GT
Range Rover with the 510bhp Petrol engine.
Lamborghini Galardo
Lamborghini Diablo
E type V12
XK150
American Motorhome with the pop out sides.
Cabin Cruiser boat
Ariel square four
Kawasaki 750 triple

I just need a lottery win and a barn to store them in :lol:

You wouldn't get all that lot for £100k.

A Bentley S3 Continental would be at the top of my list.

Well, I probably wouldn't spend more than $5K to buy it whatever it was, but I'd spend the other $95K on rebuilding it. So many cool cars and trucks out there. Just came across a '66 Dodge Power Wagon on craigslist the other day that I would love to have.

Sierra cosworth ... Only joking!
With my future lottery win, assuming the daily driver (classic alfa 1750 and a range rover) is sorted, id spend my £100k filling the garage - initially- with these...

Stutz bearcat (that might blow the £100k budget)

Suffolk Jag SS100
lotus / caterham 7
'66-68 Pontiac GTO / mid 90s Bentley continental R
Early Audi Quattro (could also make for a daily)

And I'd keep the Jensen of course!

Bentley Flying Spur. Recent model.
Aston Martin DB7.
Both cars together would come to less than £100K.

If I was wealthy enough to have £100k hanging around in a forgotten account I think I'd speak to Matt Watts about HEA 1D. With the change I'd buy a RR Silver Shadow II for about £15k.

Some nice choices there Wing Commander Payne.I'm with you on the RV with sliders.Definately!Quite fancy the new F Type with the big 5ltr engine in white.A Vicarage Mk II Jag in gun metal,walnut dash,all modern engine,box,headrests etc,etc.
A RR Ghost might just slide in if high mileage.A new style Range Rover is a given of course.

Now it starts to get to personal taste so forgive me.A late 50's Bristol MW Coach would have to be part of my stable.Also,a very well looked after Routemaster is a must.To finish off.A bit outside my price range but what the hell.An SRN 6 Hovercraft is my ultimate fantasy.Love them!
There.That's enough to be going on with.Oh.One final thing.A very large,heated and carpeted aircraft hangar to house my babies!!

I've been told by the domestic authority that we need to find room for a Porsche 356. It has to have faded yellow or faded light blue paint...

So, I think that's the Audi and caterham out...

If it has to be a modern, the Jag f type ... Stunning.
