The OP asked 'If you had £250k burning a hole in your pocket what would you buy?'

Seeing as Jules360 is in Dubai then I'm not sure why the need to have a dig. It's not his fault you live in the UK wink

Aventador Roadster if we aren't talking new prices
Where are the £250k Roadsters ?

The first ones dipped just under £299,950 about 3 weeks ago

We drive on the right here and I don't need to import it anywhere. So what's your issue?

Tony you missed the UK 670s at circa 250k though you could try europe, if not my money would probably go on an Aventador not much beats a Lambo V12 for sense of occasion and drama. I had a Countach QV for 8 years and loved it but my 250 would not go there just IMHO however as an investment prospect it is a safe bet. Depends what you want, does 250 buy a Countach?
If I took you for a spin you would be on a plane to the continent ASAP, a pal just bought an SV in Italy and it's blown his socks off (Simon where are you?)

Great problem to have!

£250K?

Aventador Coupe - with MY16 upgrades
Aventador Roadster (Probably LHD - but fingers crossed!)
Ferrari Speciale LHD/RHD - any colour you like - best with lots of carbon!
Ferrari 430 Scuderia - ridiculously close to £200K or even a little higher
Mint 550 Maranello - Manual gearbox - creamiest V12 dollops of Torque - effortless GT
997.2 911 GT3RS - track weapon!
308 GTB - Fibreglass body
Maserati Ghibli 4.9SS - effortless grace - less well known than the respective Ferrari (Daytona) and Lamborghini (Muira)
Lamborghini Countach - Should be able to get a QV for this money
MB 190SL
MB 230/280 SL - immaculate condition

Enjoy whatever you decide to go for!

A pair of trousers with heat-proof pockets. Then several lovely cars.

I'm no millionaire collector however I have ten cars with between 70 and 700ish BHP, one of them makes me laugh out loud every time I drive it (five years into ownership) does not cost a fortune to buy or run, brings out the enthusiast at every car meet or petrol station and is a wise investment but is well on the way north already. You could buy one and then think about what to do with the lump of remaining change for a while.

Thinking out of the box as they say and a not quite answering the original question by some margin!

Integrale Evo.
