It's your lucky day! Dream garage.
Discussion
It's Thursday and an eccentric billionaire has just offered to buy you 10 cars and you can chose from anything in the world (even if they not for sale or avaliable anymore)
Not only that but he has generously offered to pay for all the running costs, tax, insurance and replacement car (if you crash the one that you have) but he has said that you can never sell them and you can never buy any other car plus you have to pay for your own fuel. What 10 cars would you choose? - you also have a wife and two kids to think of, but you are most welcome to divorce/put them up for adoption.
Anyway the list I have drawn up whilst I wait for him to appear is;
1. Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 - White with graphics removed.
2. Porsche 993 GT2 - Blue.
3. Ferrari F40 - Red.
4. Ferrari F430 Scuderia - Black with white stripes.
5. McClaren F1 GTR - 1995 LeMans livery.
6. Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.5-16 Evolution II - Black .
7. Mercedes-Benz CLK - GTR - Silver.
8. BMW F10 M5 - Blue
9. Paganai Zonda F - White/Blue
10.BMW M3 GTR Street Version - BMW Racing colours
I expect I would lose my license/life long before I got a chance to enjoy the collection and god knows where I would keep them or what would happen if fuel supplies dried up (electric bike maybe?)
Anyone else have a list? Bonus points* for pictures.

Thanks for including names - interesting list, why the Saab?
Well, partly it has to be that when I was growing up, my dad had a saab dealership, and pretty much my whole family still drives saabs.I love the way the classic 900 looks, drives, sounds,... and the T16s is the ultimate 900. They are fast enough to go along with traffic, cheap to run, and reliable.
Plus, absolutely everybody reacts positively to seeing my current non-turbo 900. Even people with no interest in cars whatsoever say to me that it's a cool car, without me mentioning cars previously. That is a very good thing for a daily driver.

I like them as well, just seemed a more modest choice amongst all the super cars you could have chosen from Thank you for explaining though! A good choice, and obviously a car that means a lot to you. I love the way the classic 900 looks, drives, sounds,... and the T16s is the ultimate 900.

I expect mine will be a relatively cheap round for the generous billionaire:
Alfa GTV6 3.0, white preferred
Alfa Spider series 2, 2l, black
Beats the Elan Sprint onto my list simply because the hood can be raised or lowered one handed from the driver's seat.
Lamborghini Countach 5000QV, black
Ferrari 288GTO, I don't think I have any choice but red
Lotus 79, JPS colours
Jaguar XF whatever (that's the family daily)
Historic formula ford (for historic FF racing)
Lotus Elise 111R.
Mercedes Benz truck.. don't ask.
Straman Testarossa convertible (though I might break the billionaire's bank and go for a 250GTO instead)
