Sod the 918/La Ferrari/P1 - this is what I would buy

Ok. Running costs a bit higher. But this is the ultimate boy's toy and seems absurdly cheap considering the rarity, beauty and the fact that however much fun a car might be it can't come close to the rush you would get from flying aerobatics in a genuine WWII fighter. And the noise!! Plus you could just sit snd look at it for hours (days?!).

Seems bonkers that there are but a handful of airworthy Spitfires around and far fewer than roadworthy F1s but the price is so much less.

I think i read somewhere on Goodwood what it takes to get a rating for spitfires and that was quite a way through different models. Starting with your (hopefully already attained) license then going to open singleseaters, taildraggers, high powered taildraggers and so on until you're finally allowed and able to fly the Spitfire.

I worked out how much it would cost to get to fly the Spitfire if you did all the courses, working your way up, and it came to around £100k. I don't think that included a PPL which is around £10k plus you would probably need some post qualification experience so let's add another £10k. So quite expensive but for those with many millions not prohibitive.
