New Question - What would you buy with a bigger budget?

[GG33]

Having thought about things, I am revising my question. What would you buy with a budget of £40 - £50K?
It needs to satisfy the following criteria:-
Needs no more than 2 seats
Needs to have space for luggage for 2 for a week away.
Needs to look and sound stunning
Should have awesome performance (more than my present car)
Need not be practical - will only be used for fun weekends.
Suggestions?

GT500 - Nah, too much like hard work, and live axles went out with the arc. Baldy - sagaris - like your thinking, that's a definate 'maybe' :-)

Looks good having checked your previous cars...

Although this might be a better choice for a daily driver?

Greg, you answered this yourself on Sunday

996 GT2, however that would mean blowing the budget again as the only ones I can see start at £65k+

Corvette, suits you

Monaro, well under budget

M6 is nearly perfect I'd say and you can probably find one for under £50k

I really hate to say this, but after what you said on Sunday I'm not sure a TVR is the thing for you.

Having owned one - 993 turbo. Performance is phenomenal (quicker than a 996tt to 120mph) and you'd be surprised how different it is to your C2.

Alternatively, how about a Morgan Aero 8 or a Marcos TSO? I know Marcos have just gone down (again) but that's a hell of a car if there are any for sale... or more mainstream, the Corvette C6 (convertible or 7 litre, not the vanilla one) is a useful tool.

What about one of these they are not mega fast but going on euro trips would be cool.

You need to plan for those weekends, but apart from that......

TVR Cerb and use the other £30k on either ten years servicing or other fun - PPL, PPL(H)?

[GG33]

Seems to coming down to 996GT3/TT/GT2 vs Sagaris. Want the GT2 but slightly outside budget.

[Kermit power]

£45k, space for 2 and sod the practicality?
