Pistonheaders please can you help.

I have a choice to make.
I need a car to do minimal mileage in but I need to use it all year and already have a garage queen ( 993 Turbo ) and the family wagon. Something that's not going to loose too much money or cost too much. I have tried and failed to find a low mileage CSL that hasn't been messed with.

Must be fun.

So on less than 5000 miles a year I have short listed

2008 V8 R8 with around 16000 miles on it.
And a 2011 1M 19000 miles on it.

Can any of you tell me what to budget to run the R8
And have any of you driven both?
And given a 10k price difference what would you buy.

It's one of these two. I'm done looking.

Thanks

Pigster.

Oh it gets used. But not for going to tescos and not on salted roads.

not an obvious pairing I know.
That's why I'm asking for objective ownership and driving experience.

Not really looking to justify the shortlist. Just looking to enjoy different cars.

Thanks to all for input.
it did actually help in the end.

Two special cars but it's the 1M I think.
It's at least as much fun and probably won't ruin me.
