1. Ferrari 250GTO - each hand made, all with competition history, all achingly beautiful and apparently really good to drive.
2. Ferrari 288GTO - I mean, just look at it
3. Peugeot 205 T16 Evo2 or Lancia Delta S4 - cant decide - watched them for hours in wet forests
4. Porsche 911 GT1 Straßenversion - Ultimate road car
5. Mclaren F1 - or is it this

Interesting list

Why an integrale when the Delta S4 is far more exotic and faster.
Muria, nice
GT3, fantastic real world car
Defender and RS6, fantasy garage cars ? really ?

That is one hell of a list! Fair play, wouldn’t like to guess what that lot is worth! £60-70 million? I may be way off though.

Hate to think.

Thing is, i could endlessly chop and change it, probably should insert an F40 in there instead of the 288.

Really need a top ten

or twenty.

I’m already moved from the South to the friendly, beautiful North so not for me thanks. I would give the money to charity and family but buy a place up here with storage for cars.

Singer Porsche 911 (an RSR alike) - long tours and attending big Historic events

Lotus Elan Sprint dhc- pub run, local club racing days out

Ferrari 275GTB - the perfect catwalk queen , and with a sound to die for . If money were tight, I'd slum it with a 365GTC (in blue or grey - red doesn't work on the GTC )

Porsche Boxster (a flat six one obvs) -daily driver

A decent SUV for my fishing and shooting - the new Defender looks fabulous , even if it is absurdly large . Detailed spec is immaterial really - just a workhorse

Cunningly , I have engineered an exchange scheme with a kindred spirit , so we swap my Singer and Elan for his Gordon Keeble GK 1 and Alfa Duetto . The 275GTB ? In his bloody dreams ... Conveniently , my wife already has a Yaris, so we'd upgrade it to GR spec

Well, for a start, the last thing I'd spend £10m on is a flat in London when I can get my dream home overlooking a beach in Cornwall for less than half that and stay in a fabulous hotel in London if I do happen to go there, which I wouldn't anywhere near often enough to justify buying property there.

Anyway...

Ferrari F40 - Because if you can afford an F40 and don't buy one you should be questioning your petrolhead status.
Ferrari Testarossa - Itch I've always wanted to scratch.
Ferrari 400i - Comfortable GT.
Lamborghini Countach - Because it'd be rude not to.
BMW F32 440i Gran Coupé - Sensible car.

You need to swap the 400i for a Lamborghini 350GT , the second prettiest Lambo ever. Behind the Miura , obvs

These thread are ten-a-penny on PH. Why in the world did somebody resurrect a four year old one, at two in the morning? smile

I'm a man of simple tastes and therefore my fantasy garage has some perfectly reasonable cars in it, not just 5 $1m supercars.
1. B7 RS4 Avant - lusted after one of these for a long time and have a real love for fast estates. Still hope to own one sometime - the only limiting factor is getting a 4.2 V8 past SWMBO.
2. Aston DBS - just a staggeringly lovely car which I think would tick my fast GT box
3. Oak green big bumper mk2 Golf GTI, mildly lowered on a set of polished BBS RS wheels, a shaved engine bay and a tuned 1.8T under the bonnet. Basically my dream car.
4. Ferrari F40 - doesn't need an explanation. That would be my one huge extravagance
5. Genuinely don't know what I'd do with the 5th place. Maybe something sensible for nipping to the shops in - an I3 or a Mini electric. Or maybe something like a JCW Clubman.

The london lifestyle isn’t for me, but I could buy a fair few nice houses for 10,000,000

And I wouldn’t have a chauffeur

But my transport would be simple

1. Range Rover
2. Bentley gt
3. Ferrari F40
4. Mclaren 765LT
5. Audi RS3

As a follow on I’d also probably buy an airbus h145 to do most of my travelling

If I had to be in London, the chauffeur driven car would best be a black cab.
I’ve seen someone my age and physique (I.e Jeremy Clarkson), getting in and out of supercars with little dignity, so I’d go for a Lamborghini Urus as my GT car.
I’d also like an American muscle car , probably a
Mustang although a Challenger Hellcat looks good.
A van is always useful, can I have that Jaguar powered van from Goodwood?
As a long time Subaru owner an Impreza 22B would be a nice addition to my garage.
