Money is no object, you may buy three new cars. What?
Discussion
Pagani Zonda with a manual as a weekend car - as another poster pointed out, money no object they seem willing to build a new one for you
Broadley T76 as track day car [or possibly a Ligier LMP3 car or a GP2 car - am undecided and running costs are a consideration as I'd plan to use the car ...]
GTO Engineering 250 GT SWB Revival as a daily driver

Due to some implausible scenario a generous benefactor is willing to buy you any three BRAND NEW vehicles you want.
What are they and why?
You can't immediately resell and buy something else, so stop trying to cheat.
Can you modify them? Or have to leave standard.What are they and why?

Money no object but new ?
Well, I would get the Singer bods to build from scratch a perfect 2.7RS, The Jaguar team to build me a brand new lightweight E type and the Ford team to build me a brand new continuation series original GT40
or is that cheating
No limitations mentioned, not even road legal, hence why I picked a WRC car and an Auzzie SupercarWell, I would get the Singer bods to build from scratch a perfect 2.7RS, The Jaguar team to build me a brand new lightweight E type and the Ford team to build me a brand new continuation series original GT40

Though a WRC car is road legal
I'm always minded to choose things that I'd be comfortable using, and would fit on the drive and in the garage, so...
For dog walking and tip runs - Volvo V60 Cross Country, or maybe a Formentor when the 5-cylinder one appears
For mostly everything else - Alpine A110
For silly - something Koenigsegg, with as many of the fancy-pants in-house technologies as possible
Though I might swap out the Koenigsegg for something from Tamiya, otherwise I'd keep having to move it off the drive so I could get the A110 out to actually go places. Or a Unimog, because Unimogs are just ace.

Not sure you understand what 'car' means. 
In fact, if we are playing that game then sod the cars, I'll have:
Pilatus PC-12NG
BAE Hawk T2
Mi-24P Hind (for the school run)

Also on Tamiya theme, have you seen they are building a full size one to drive

Yup - the Little Car Company I think? I'd love a go in one. Ariel Nomad for the same reason.Also on Tamiya these, have you seen they are building a full size one to drive
The more I think about it, the more I'd rather have a Unimog than a Koenigsegg. One with a little grab-lift thing. That'd be genuinely useful. Still don't have room for three cars though, without a lot of shuffling.
Sadly (or otherwise) I'm perfectly happy with a fun car that's just up to everyday use, and a sensible car that's good enough to drive, but boring enough to go unnoticed.
I have my ideal daily driver, an Up GTi. So I will keep that.
Will add a new VW campervan with a custom interior as the family bus as we love the one we have, but would make a few changes to the interior to try and make it perfect for our needs.
A Porsche 911 Turbo S Targa. It doesn't exist, but I am sure with unlimited funds I could persuade Porsche to build one.
Lastly a Morgan Plus 6. I've always had a soft spot for Morgan. I would ask them to coachbuild a 4 seater for me. Would be perfect for top down cruising.

992 Porsche 911 GT3 with a manual gearbox (probably not the super stripped RS mind) for track duty, weekend jaunts, road trips and such.
Caterham 420r for hardcore track work when the weather is nice!
Upgrade my current Octy VRS estate for a new one for daily drive & towing duty.
Will probably change tomorrow mind!
