I have 2 month old twin boys and they got me thinking about having something to give them when they turn 21. I thought a car would be great. Something I bought now that I could enjoy, but keep for 21 years. Which 2 cars would you buy - let's say 150k budget. There is the option of buying just one now and a second one in a few years if spending more makes sense.

What about an Aston? Like a first gen Vanquish S, or a DBS in James Bond spec? I could drive either for the next 20 years :-)

Fun question but no 21 year old could ever be insured for these cars. Save a ton of money and buy a decent 140bhp caterham. In 20 years time such a raw basic car would be a revelation and the kids would love it !
Forget insurance, I'm fully expecting that those cars won't be even be allowed on the roads!

We're not talking about cars they're going to drive to college in, if we need to trailer them to a race track, or some private roads then that will do just fine.

Their autonomous, AI controlled, solar powered, shared urban transporation pods will likely deal with their daily travel needs.
