Most expensive car driven

[richardcraig]

OK, this one aint for the ferrari, lambo, f1 etc owners but us humble bods that can't afford to own one but might have driven one.

I'll start with reversing a Bentley Azure (£220k new) 2 car lengths out of a garage and then driving it in again! And a new Range Rover vogue (£60k). Again the garage thing.

[domster]

Well I drove about 750ks worth of cars on a Bentley test day (Silver Seraph, Red Label Arnage, Green Label Arnage, Merc S500 plus many other luxobarges) around a 15 mile route.

Afterwards I found out that due to an admin cockup I was probably not insured

They didn't even have the traction control working on the Arnage yet, and then it started to rain... luckily I managed to contain the 619 ft/lbs of torque!

Original Ford GT40 probably, maybe a real Ferrari Daytona drophead, or a 1966 AC Cobra 427, then again maybe the Ferrari 250GTO.

I was a lucky s.o.b. in the late 70's early 80's working for garages selling exotics.

Aston Martin DB7 (early one) I believe they are better now.

I was lucky enought to drive a friends 1989 911sse turbo cabrio , it was 1 of only 7 rhd cars made , at the time it was worth ( well he paid £114,000) , but in the end he had to sell it for £44,000 oh well its only money

The most expensive vehicle, I'd driven was a BMW 535i converted for scientific research - worth appr. 400k
And I drove it like I stole it - the scientific assistant asked me to do so

But then it would depend on the year I drove it, the 80s were expensive years........

Like Bodo, Mine was a Proto Type Vehicle. Value approximately £500k, the thing is it was a 4.5 Tonne front drive van. Still got it to lay black lines on over steer doing lane changes at Millbrook proving Ground!!!!

RS200 Group B Evo spec... 7 litre GT40... Land Rover Freelander with £450k's worth of data logging and scientific equipment... Icelandic super jeep... couple of Betley's... Lambo Diablo... various Ferrari's, but sadly no F40 or F50...

I've been wedged into a McLaren F1 car. I cannot remember whose it was but I'm hardly small so maybe it was the wide one they made for Mansell Of course it had no engine (or seat for that matter) but I did not care.
