You have just won the lottery, first car you buy?
Discussion
Sportine 60 LWB, in black please. 
At least with a lottery win I'd be able to afford to put 100,000miles a year on it.
No idea.
But what I wouldn't do is immediately spunk a load of cash on a car. Because I'd not be telling anyone other than my wife that I'd won. Not even the children, at least not to start with. And nothing screams "LOTTERY WINNER" louder than turning up outside your 1930's terrace in a Lamborghini.
Once things had settled down, I had my country estate etc, then very probably a few silly cars. An original Gullwing. A 288GTO. A set of perfect M5s (apart from the E60). A Quattro Sport. A Bristol 403. A G63. Perhaps an immacuately restored Hillman Imp.
But even if I had all the money in the world I'd not want to use a classic or hypercar every day. Filling up every 200 miles gets very boring on a regular basis, and anonymity has huge benefits.

This whilst I waited for an F1 to become available.

Depends how much I won, if it was £25 I might hold off on the Lambo !
Within 5 miles or we have Porsche, Ferrari, Mclaren, Bentley, Rolls, Aston Martin and a few independants. Lamborghini is in Stockport, perhaps 12 miles away.
I would savour the expereince of having that opportunity and it would pay too not to peak to early and just buy the first thing I see.
I would first prove my seriousness, like so,
And then insist on driving a few different cars at each dealer, then make an informed decision.
