I think something like this, funds permitting to keep it appropriately fettled, would make an ideal daily.

I've changed my mind: I'd like to use the £100K as a deposit for a Zonda F please.

Or the first payment on a Carrera GT.

Yup, but comically couldn't stomach another £2.5k on the M3 so the likelihood of one of those is slim...

Gents, daft question I know, but can somebody point me in the direction of a suitable all encompassing HPI check that will tell me all the nasty info I don't want to know about before buying a car I don't need but really really want?
