Hello all,

Looking to spend up to around £100k on something Super. Something that will make me feel special every time it's used.

Not for track days, I have the TVR for that itch, but purely for enjoying myself and some Euro trips. Will do plenty of miles.

Must haves:
Convertible
Naturally aspirated
Great exhaust sound

Dont Mind:
E-Gear/F1 transmissions

Definite No Go's:
White cars
Aston Martin
Porsche

So far I'm thinking Gallardo, late F430, possibly a California (looks an issue here though)...... Murcielago's are sadly out of budget. Anything else I should be looking at? Something more modern too, say 10-12 years max

Thanks in advance.

Morning. Thanks for all the replies.

The Maserati looks interesting. Great, great noise but the two tonne weight is a bit off putting. I'll probably have to try one first though.

Audi R8 sadly does nothing for me. In any guise.

Am I completely dreaming that I could buy a rhd Murci Roadster for £100k privately in the UK?

If age was not an issue, then a Pagoda would be a very good shout - ran past one on Sunday in Highgate. Achingly pretty.

Will try and get in a few cars today and keep you posted. Hoping to wrap this up this week !
